RAAFA, which owns and operates retirement living and aged care homes in WA, has taken ownership of The City of Rockingham’s Challenger Court retirement village.

“RAAFA has extensive experience in managing retirement living and residential care facilities, and we are confident they will be able to provide quality support and care to current and future residents of Challenger Court,” said Rockingham Mayor Deb Hamlin.

“Crucially, the City has secured a commitment from RAAFA to carry out further development on site in the future to expand accommodation and services available to the community. This will be essential to meeting the demands of our growing seniors population, which is expected to reach more than 47,000 people by 2046.”

Challenger Court, opened in the seventies, has 50 one-bedroom independent living units.

RAAFA owns and operates six retirement villages comprising 1420 retirement living units and apartments, 19 assisted living units, 446 residential care places and 14 short stay accommodation units.
