Community

VMCH retirement living is special!

We champion and celebrate the dignity of every person, with a community spirit that welcomes everyone.

This results in friendly and vibrant communities, offering residents the unique opportunity to develop new friendships, participate in activities and enjoy a strong sense of belonging.

You are invited to be social as little or as often as you desire.

Homes

All about your space

You’ll find two and three-bedroom homes with open plan living.

The homes include light filled kitchens with Caesarstone bench-tops and two bathrooms with walk-in shower, plus reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating.

Each home also has a lock-up garage accessible from inside the home, and a private courtyard.

Location

You’ve probably heard of one of Victoria’s most loved locations. But we’ll remind you again why Torquay is so great. The start of the Great Ocean Road, close to Geelong, never-ending coastal drives and did we mention the beach? Stroll along sandy beaches and enjoy the vista of the coast from vantage points along the Surf Coast Walk. Plus, fabulous shops, cafés and amenities are at your fingertips.

Because Corpus Christi is a smaller village, we know everyone here, it’s terrific. A lovely place to live.

You’re secure. It’s quiet at St Thomas’. You know everybody and can catch up with them at any stage.
