Solving the aged care problem on the Sunshine Coast

We live in an era where a high proportion of our population is over the age of sixty-five, which is placing unprecedented pressure on our health and aged care services.

As a result, there has been a rise in the number of carers looking after their parents in their own homes (Moving An Elderley Parent Into Your Home, n.d.). Recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics indicates that almost 2.7 million Australians identify as 'carers' (Carers, 2012).

Caring for your aging parents is a quandary that most of us will have to solve sooner or later. When deciding the best way forward to care for your aging parents a number of considerations including location, your relationship, and the level of care required for your parents may come into play.

If you make the decision to relocate your parents into your home, you may find yourself needing to purchase a larger home that ticks all of the boxes. This kind of significant change often requires the careful consideration of important emotional, economic and social issues. 

However, there is no reason why your new home should not be both practical and luxurious.

Situated on around half an acre in beautiful Buderim, this home redefines luxury. Relish in the lavish lifestyle you have always imagined while having the space to accommodate your extended family in this gorgeous private gated estate.

The property features a huge indoor pool, 10 car basement garage, more marble than the Romans and has a separate 2-bedroom guest house, which is an ideal retreat for your aging parents, yourself or even your teenage children! The large guestroom, with 2 way bathroom contains marble bench-tops and a stunning free-standing bath. Anthony Gorman of Gorman & Gray Property who's currently marketing 163a Mooloolaba Road, Buderim, says that, “Dual living residences are hard to come by and this one offers a 2 bedroom, fully self-contained Guest house, with its' own separate security access”. 

The Sunshine Coast was recently named in the Courier Mail as one of five boom towns for property investment (Top 5 Boom Towns, 2015).Terry Ryder of Hotspotting.com identifies the reasons for its popularity being, “a strong population growth, a $150 million private hospital major upgrade to the Sunshine Plaza shopping centre, $2 billion University Hospital and a $450 million airport upgrade among other major projects”.
