John Flynn village offers living choices to suit everyone, so residents can live the way they want and blaze their own trails. Our apartments are light and spacious with well-considered layouts, and have balcony or patio options. For year-round comfort, all apartments are air conditioned and heated.
If down the track you need more support, we offer assisted-living apartments and a full range of residential aged care options. That freedom and flexibility is empowering for residents and knowing care can be dialled up as needed means, quite simply, ‘no worries’. It's all part of what we like to call the Ryman Difference.
Our pioneering approach to retirement living includes resident-friendly terms designed to protect you and your family. Our base weekly fee is fixed for the entire time you occupy your apartment*, and our deferred management fee is capped at 20 percent – one of the lowest in the retirement sector.
These are just some of the ways we’re pioneering a new way of living for a new retirement generation.
*Some conditions apply.
Community is central to the lifestyle so we will offer amenities that encourage that sense of togetherness, such as a café, dining room, bar, hair and beauty salon, and shop.
Retirement is a great time to sharpen your skills on the passions and pastimes that you love. The village will offer a workshop, craft room, billiards room, and library.
Incorporate regular activity into your everyday routine or enjoy the camaraderie of a little game time. You will enjoy the swimming pool, spa pool, gym and bowling green.
Aged care is not an ‘add on’ at a Ryman village, it is built into the fabric of our villages from the very beginning. It’s comforting for couples and friends to know they can still be near each other even if their health needs are different.
John Flynn Village will offer a full range of aged care options including residential aged care (low care and high care) and specialist dementia care. Like all aspects of our villages, we constantly look for ways to improve both the aged care we provide and the innovation behind it. Aged care is customised using our myRyman care app and residents love the food in our seasonal Delicious menu, which is prepared fresh on site by village chefs.
You will be able to treat yourself to a pamper session in our hair and beauty salon or a sweet treat in the shop.
Lounge and dining areas will provide spaces to relax and enjoy mealtimes. The food tastes great and the social interaction is good for the soul.
Tranquil indoor and outdoor spaces dedicated to our care residents will allow you to relax and meet with family and friends.
Conveniently situated down the road from Burwood One and also next door to the brand new Burwood Brickworks shopping center.
With trams and buses at your door and entrances to freeways only minutes away, you will have the ability to travel anywhere you want with ease.
Surrounded by boutique cafes and restaurants giving you a variety of options to suit a range of palates.
That’s why each Ryman village is named after an Aussie or Kiwi trailblazer. Charles Brownlow, Weary Dunlop, Deborah Cheetham to name a few. They lived with passion and purpose, they pushed further, they went beyond the ordinary. That’s exactly what we strive to do every day at Ryman. To pioneer a new way of living, for a new retirement generation.
Founder of Australia’s The Royal Flying Doctor Service – the world’s first air ambulance, John Flynn dedicated his career to the needs of those in isolated communities.
While tending to spiritual matters in the outback, John quickly established the need for medical care for isolated Australians. His overarching vision was to establish a ‘Mantle of Safety’ for residents of the outback which included the establishment of several bush hospitals. With commitment, determination, and passion, John achieved his vision and significantly impacted the lives of Australians living in the outback.
By 1917, John was considering the possibility of radio or air support for outback residents with acute medical needs. An Australian pilot serving in WWI, Clifford Peel, heard John’s speculations and wrote him a letter outlining the capabilities and costs of possible aircraft solutions. John published these details in his church’s magazine to support his relentless fund-raising efforts, which led to the establishment of a flying medical service.
John’s legacy lives on as The Royal Flying Doctor Service continues to deliver his ‘Mantle of Safety’ to Australia’s outback residents. An Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE), John‘s commitment has been recognised in many ways. His image can be seen on the Australian twenty-dollar note and his name has been adopted in commemoration several times over.
Among the many books written about John, W.Scott McPheat wrote John Flynn – Apostle to the Inland in 1963 and John Flynn: Vision of the Inland in 1976.
