Our retirement villages offer a range of care options - not as an add-on, but woven into the fabric of our villages.

Weary Dunlop Village offers a 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.

Accommodation fee

You can choose how to pay the accommodation fee based on what best suits your financial situation.

Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD)

This is a lump sum payment made when you enter the care centre.

The RAD is fully refundable and will be repaid when you no longer need the care room.

Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP)

Instead of paying a lump sum, you can opt to pay the Daily Accommodation Payment during your stay in the care centre.

The DAP is non-refundable and is calculated by multiplying the applicable Maximum Permissible Interest Rate (MPIR) by the agreed RAD amount, then dividing by 365.

A combination of RAD and DAP

You can choose to pay a portion of the agreed amount upfront as a RAD, and the remainder as a DAP.

You decide the RAD-to-DAP ratio – the higher the RAD, the lower the DAP.

our namesake

Each Ryman village is named in honour of a Kiwi or Aussie trailblazer: Anthony Wilding, Lady Diana Isaac, Evelyn Page. They pushed further and set the bar high for others to aspire to. In creating communities that challenge the expectations of ageing, Ryman villages are also setting the bar high. They’re demonstrating that a retirement lifestyle brimming with new experiences, connections and fulfilment is something we should aspire to. Our Aussie and Kiwi namesakes represent the measure of inspiration, while Ryman villages represent the measure of retirement living.

Sir Edward “Weary” Dunlop (1907 – 1993)

Sir Edward “Weary” Dunlop was an Australian surgeon who is renowned for his leadership and courage while being held prisoner by the Japanese during World War II.

He was born in Victoria in 1907 and trained first as a pharmacist and then as a doctor. He was also an outstanding rugby player, and played for the 1932 Wallabies side that took the Bledisloe Cup from the All Blacks.

After the war he had a distinguished career in medicine and was especially active in his support of veterans. He was knighted in 1969 and named Australian of the Year in 1976.
