Retirement Living

Discover the Canterbury Senior Living Development at Rochester Road

At BASSCARE, we’re transforming life’s later chapters into moments of wonder — reimagining how people connect, live, and thrive. Our new Canterbury senior living development will bring together elegant homes, welcoming community spaces, and sustainable design to create something extraordinary in the heart of Boroondara.

This inspired project invites you to imagine what’s possible: a Canterbury retirement village where community, sustainability, and everyday living come together.

The Rochester Road development represents BASSCARE’s next chapter in creating vibrant, connected places to live. Designed to elevate daily life and enrich the spirit, it blends retirement living, community amenities, and a strong sense of place — all within one of Melbourne’s most admired neighbourhoods.

From retirement apartments to downsizer townhouses in Boroondara, this is where thoughtful design meets possibility.

Sustainable Retirement Homes in Boroondara

This project reflects BASSCARE’s commitment to building sustainable retirement homes in Boroondara- residences that respect both people and the planet. Every detail, from natural light and green spaces to energy efficiency and enduring materials, has been considered to create homes that feel good to live in and are kind to the environment.

Its sustainability made tangible - a way of living that’s as inspiring as it is responsible.

Retirement Community in Canterbury: A Vision for Connection

This retirement community in Canterbury will be more than a place to live —it will be a place to belong.

The design encourages social connection, shared experiences, and a sense of togetherness. It’s about discovering joy in the everyday, from quiet moments of reflection to lively gatherings that remind us of the magic in community life.

Sustainable Aged Care in Canterbury: Redefining Comfort

BASSCARE’s sustainable aged care in Canterbury will set a new standard for comfort and dignity. Designed with a focus on wellbeing, connection, and thoughtful support, this part of the development reflects our belief that growing older should feel enriching, empowering, and full of possibility.

Rochester Road Retirement Apartments: Thoughtfully Designed Homes


The Rochester Road retirement apartments are designed for light, comfort, and effortless living.

Each apartment will feel inviting, functional, and timeless — a true home in every sense. Every space has been planned to illuminate daily life and reveal new possibilities for connection and peace of mind.

Community & Wellness Precinct: The Heart of Canterbury’s Retirement Village
At the heart of the Canterbury retirement village will be a vibrant Community and Wellness Precinct - a shared place to move, connect, and grow.
Here, residents will find opportunities to stay active, social, and inspired, with programs and spaces designed to support wellbeing and friendship.

This is where BASSCARE’s philosophy shines brightest: turning compassion into possibility and transforming ordinary days into experiences that feel truly extraordinary.
