downsizing.com.au - seniorshousingonline

Australia's leading retirement property and aged care online portal connects consumers with senior housing properties and aged care services. Helping consumers to navigate a fragmented and complex senior living and aged care sector in Australia, it features many thousands of retirement properties and other services listed in Australia, and is growing rapidly. Initially SeniorsHousingOnline.com.au, the website is now rebranding as Downsizing.com.au to better cater for the needs and aspirations of the baby boomers as they head into their retirement years. A new "Senior Flatmates" category connects people seeking affordable rental accommodation. An international website extends the service globally. All countries face challenges created by an ageing population, and despite cultural and language differences, the experience is remarkably similar. Family structures are changing and it is now more difficult for younger family members to provide full time care and accommodation for older family members. Even cultures which historically relied upon extended family support have found this more difficult to maintain with changing patterns of urbanisation, education and employment. Specialised senior housing developments offer an attractive and practical solution for many families, and models such as Australia's retirement villages are proving popular around the world. Senior housing and care providers are operating internationally, and together with mobile populations, it makes sense to have a global website and related digital tools to help consumers find what they want, whether in their home country or elsewhere. DownsizingOnline.com and SeniorsHousingOnline.com now feature many international retirement living options in the USA, China, India, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, New Zealand, Fiji and Malta - with more locations coming soon!
