Right now, 7,500 young Australians are living in aged care simply because there are few other options. A further 700,000 are being cared for at home by family and friends, often with limited support.
The Youngcare Apartments Gold Coast were officially opened on 29 April 2012, offering another desperately needed option in housing for young people requiring full-time care and assistance.
The Apartments are now home to young people with high care needs who can live as they choose and receive the care that they need in dignified, age-appropriate, and positive surrounds.
