REGENTS GARDEN CLUB PREMIUM MEMBERSHIPS & ROOM UPGRADES AT REGENTS GARDEN PERTH

Premium aged care in Perth has evolved well beyond comfortable rooms and attentive nursing. Today, leading providers offer structured lifestyle programmes that allow residents to shape their daily experience around personal preferences - from dining rituals to social activities, wellness treatments to private transport. For families researching aged care options in Perth, understanding the relationship between membership tiers and room upgrade options has become an essential part of the decision-making process.

The concept of tiered lifestyle membership reflects a growing recognition that older Australians deserve genuine choice. Residents arrive with decades of established preferences, social habits, and personal standards. Aged care membership programmes acknowledge this reality - creating structured pathways for residents to access elevated services tailored to individual lives, without disrupting the clinical care and daily support that remain the foundation of residential living.

WHAT IS THE REGENTS GARDEN CLUB?

An Optional Lifestyle Membership Within Residential Aged Care

The Regents Garden Club is an optional, flexible collection of lifestyle enhancements available to residents across all five aged care residences in Perth. It operates as a distinct layer above the clinical care, nursing support, and standard daily services that all residents receive - regardless of membership status. The programme sits within the government's HELF framework, effective from 1 November 2025, which allows approved aged care providers to offer premium lifestyle services beyond the Basic Daily Fee, Hotelling Contribution, and Non-Clinical Care Contribution. Clinical care remains 100% government funded under this structure - the Regents Garden Club applies exclusively to voluntary lifestyle enhancements.

Residents who choose membership receive a specially curated welcome gift upon joining, reflecting the programme's core philosophy: that choosing to engage more deeply with a residential environment deserves acknowledgement, and that small rituals of welcome set the tone for a relationship built on genuine personalisation.

The Regents Garden Club organises aged care lifestyle upgrades across three tiers - Sapphire (daily comfort and personalisation), Ruby (elevated dining, social programming, and specialist wellness), and Diamond (bespoke luxury services including private chauffeur transport and companion carer access). Care specialists guide families through all three options during facility tours without pressure, matching each tier to the resident's individual habits and social character.

How Membership Differs from Standard Inclusions

Standard aged care inclusions cover meals, linen, laundry, room cleaning, general entertainment, and nursing care. These are funded through the Basic Daily Fee and government subsidies. The Regents Garden Club adds a separate layer of quality aged care professional services coordinated by qualified lifestyle staff - including premium dining enhancements, specialist wellness treatments, and exclusive social experiences not available through standard inclusions alone. The distinction is meaningful: standard inclusions meet functional needs; membership services elevate the daily experience.

SAPPHIRE MEMBERSHIP - DAILY COMFORT AND PERSONAL TOUCHES

The Introductory Tier of the Regents Garden Club

Sapphire membership is designed for residents who appreciate thoughtful daily comforts. The focus sits on personalising the immediate living environment and enhancing everyday routines from morning to evening. Every Sapphire inclusion is designed around the principle that small daily rituals matter - a familiar newspaper arriving at the door each morning, a perfectly prepared barista coffee, a room that reflects personal taste rather than generic institutional design. These details signal to residents that their individual identity is respected, a message that carries particular significance during the adjustment period of early residential life.

What Sapphire Membership Includes

Sapphire members receive the following inclusions as part of the aged care lifestyle upgrades at this tier:

• Sleep environment: A super-wide king-single bed fitted with an exclusive luxury mattress providing premium support and contributing to restorative sleep quality
• Room personalisation: A feature wall in the resident's chosen colour scheme, reflecting individual style and transforming the suite from a standard room into a personal space
• Morning ritual: Daily newspaper or weekly magazine of choice delivered directly to the room each morning before breakfast
• Coffee and tea service: Barista-style coffee and curated connoisseur teas as a daily dining enhancement - separate from the standard meal service
• Connectivity: Dedicated Wi-Fi access and streaming service connectivity, keeping residents connected to family and entertainment on their own schedule
• Welcome experience: A specially curated welcome gift upon joining - the first of many personalised touches designed to mark membership as a genuine lifestyle choice

These inclusions are coordinated by qualified lifestyle staff who establish resident preferences before any service commences. The personalisation process itself - being asked what newspaper you prefer, what colour you love, what coffee you have always drunk - communicates respect for the resident as an individual with a history and an identity worth preserving.

Who Sapphire Membership Suits

Sapphire membership suits residents who value daily ritual and personal comfort above social programming or wellness services. It works particularly well for residents transitioning from independent living, where established routines provide continuity and reassurance. It is also the natural starting point for those who want to experience the quality aged care lifestyle activities within the programme before considering an upgrade to Ruby or Diamond.

RUBY MEMBERSHIP - ELEVATED DINING, SOCIAL AND WELLNESS

More Choices to Elevate Living Standards

Ruby membership expands substantially on the Sapphire foundation by introducing elevated dining experiences, structured social programming, and specialist wellness treatments. This tier suits residents with active social preferences and a genuine appreciation for refined food, drink, and physical care. It addresses the three dimensions of daily life most residents identify as most important - eating well, connecting with others, and feeling physically cared for. Social connection in aged care is not a luxury; it is a health imperative, and the structured programmes within Ruby membership create the conditions for it to occur naturally and regularly.

Dining and Social Inclusions at Ruby Level

Ruby membership introduces a range of dining and social experiences coordinated by professional lifestyle and culinary staff. These inclusions go beyond the premium aged care dining services already available through the standard 5-Star Service. They represent a personalised layer of culinary and social experience managed specifically around individual tastes and social preferences:

• Fine aperitifs, curated wines, selected beers, and digestifs served with care at mealtimes and social events
• Elegant High Tea gatherings with fellow members, creating structured and pleasurable social connection opportunities throughout the week
• Pre-dinner drinks events combining social warmth with refined hospitality
• Special family dining experiences celebrating the chef's finest seasonal creations - allowing residents to host family in a meaningful way within their residential environment
• Guided social bus outings exploring the local community, coastal areas, and cultural destinations with fellow members

Each social experience is designed with aged care residents specifically in mind. Timing, pacing, and environment are all managed by qualified lifestyle staff to ensure events feel genuinely enjoyable rather than exhausting. The goal is participation that energises rather than depletes - a distinction that expert programming makes possible.

Wellness Treatments at Ruby Level

Ruby members also access specialist wellness treatments delivered by qualified practitioners with expertise in aged care wellness. Each treatment is tailored to the individual resident's health profile and clinical care plan, ensuring that lifestyle enhancements support rather than conflict with medical management:

• Aromatherapy sessions supporting relaxation, sleep quality, and emotional regulation through expert application of therapeutic essential oils
• Reflexology treatments promoting circulation, reducing physical tension, and supporting overall vitality
• Tailored spa and sauna sessions designed specifically around the physical needs and tolerances of aged care residents
• Specialised fitness programmes enhancing strength, balance, and flexibility - developed and supervised by qualified fitness staff
• Restorative movement sessions supporting ongoing mobility, coordination, and physical confidence

Qualified wellness staff maintain direct communication with the clinical care team - ensuring treatments are reviewed against each resident's health status and adjusted as care needs evolve. This integrated approach is what distinguishes genuinely premium aged care lifestyle services from generic wellness programming.

DIAMOND MEMBERSHIP - FOR THE TRULY PRIVILEGED

The Premium Tier of the Regents Garden Club

Diamond membership delivers the most comprehensive aged care lifestyle upgrades available through the Regents Garden Club. It is designed for residents who seek an extraordinary daily experience - one in which every detail is anticipated and every occasion is elevated. This tier includes all Sapphire and Ruby inclusions and adds a further layer of bespoke, individually managed services. The chauffeur, the companion carer, the private dining experience - these reflect a belief that the final chapter of life deserves the same quality and personal attention that residents enjoyed at the height of their independence.

Bespoke Inclusions at Diamond Level

Diamond members receive the following exclusive inclusions in addition to all Sapphire and Ruby services:

• Private chauffeur service: Transportation in the Regents Garden Club Alphard limousine for medical appointments, shopping outings, family visits, and personal journeys - managed by dedicated staff who coordinate logistics, timing, and comfort
• Bespoke in-room dining: Chef-prepared meals delivered directly to the resident's suite with professional presentation and elegant service, creating an intimate private dining experience within the residence at times of the resident's choosing
• Private venue bookings: Exclusive use of the cinema, banquet hall, or BBQ area for birthdays, anniversaries, family celebrations, and significant occasions - transforming shared spaces into privately reserved venues for meaningful events
• Dedicated companion carer: A specialist staff member whose sole focus is meaningful one-on-one time - sharing conversation, laughter, quiet moments, favourite activities, and gentle encouragement on a scheduled, ongoing basis

The Companion Carer Difference

The companion carer inclusion at Diamond level addresses a dimension of wellbeing that no physical amenity can substitute. Loneliness and social isolation are among the most serious health risks facing aged care residents - correlating directly with cognitive decline, depression, and reduced quality of life. The companion carer is a dedicated, qualified staff member whose role is built entirely around the resident's emotional and social world. They know the resident's stories, humour, preferences, and difficult moments. For residents at Diamond level, this consistency of human connection becomes one of the most valued aspects of membership.

ROOM UPGRADES ACROSS PERTH FACILITIES

Understanding the Suite Range

Room selection at Regents Garden operates entirely independently from Regents Garden Club membership. Each facility offers a distinct range of suite configurations - from companion suites through to premium bay window suites with substantial private patios. Understanding aged care accommodation payments is an important step before selecting a room type. Accommodation is funded through a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) - refunded when leaving care, less a government-mandated retention of 2% per year for a maximum of five years - or a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP), or a combination of both.

Suite Types Available Across the Group

Five primary suite configurations are available across Regents Garden facilities, each serving distinct resident needs and preferences:

• Companion suites: Shared accommodation with private sleeping and personal spaces, plus shared ensuite access - suited to residents who prefer company or couples wishing to share accommodation
• Companion suites with window: As above, with a window configuration providing natural light and improved outlook - available at Bateman and Lake Joondalup
• Single shared ensuite: A fully private room with ensuite facilities shared between two adjacent residents - balancing privacy and accessibility at a moderate accommodation cost
• Single private ensuite: A fully private room with an exclusively private ensuite bathroom and, in most configurations, a private patio or balcony - the most common suite type across the group
• Bay window and premium suites: Oversized private suites with expansive bay window configurations, the largest internal footprints in the group, and the most generous private patio or balcony areas available

Premium Finishes Across All Suites

Regardless of suite type, Regents Garden residences incorporate premium materials throughout. Solid timber doors and trimmings, marble and granite fittings, lead-light panels, and chandeliers feature across all facilities. These finishes are not reserved for the highest-tier suites - they appear consistently throughout each facility because the design philosophy holds that every resident deserves a beautiful, dignified living environment.

SUITE OPTIONS ACROSS FIVE PERTH LOCATIONS

Refundable Accommodation Deposits range from $380,000 to $750,000. The facility's distinctive Asian Cluster accommodates residents with specific cultural and culinary preferences - a thoughtful feature that reflects genuine commitment to cultural inclusivity in Perth aged care.

Koi ponds, waterfalls, tree-lined promenades, and sun-filled atriums create an estate environment that reflects significant investment in daily aesthetic quality. RADs range from $680,000 to $758,000.

Scarborough - Coastal Living with Universal Private Balconies

A rooftop piano lounge with BBQ and bar area adds a uniquely social communal dimension available at no other Regents Garden location.

CHOOSING MEMBERSHIP AND ROOM TOGETHER

Two Independent Decisions That Work Together

Families often assume that premium room types automatically include membership benefits - or that selecting Diamond membership upgrades the physical suite. Neither is true. Room type reflects accommodation preference and financial planning around the RAD and DAP structure. Membership reflects lifestyle priorities - social engagement, dining refinement, wellness investment, or bespoke personal services. Neither decision constrains the other, giving families genuine flexibility when choosing quality aged care facilities in Perth and allowing both to be optimised for the individual resident.

Starting the Conversation with Care Specialists

The most effective way to evaluate both membership options and room types is through a personalised facility tour. Care specialists walk families through suite configurations, demonstrate membership inclusions, and help match both decisions to the resident's individual preferences, social history, and care needs. Tours are available at all five Perth locations by appointment - and many families choose to visit more than one before making a final decision.

Adjusting Membership Over Time

Residents are not locked into a single membership tier for the duration of their stay. As care needs evolve, as social confidence builds, or as personal priorities shift, membership can be reviewed and adjusted. A resident who starts at Sapphire and finds the social isolation of early residential adjustment easing naturally may find Ruby's social programming increasingly appealing at the six-month mark. A resident whose health requires a period of rest may find stepping back from a more active tier makes sense temporarily. This flexibility is central to how the Regents Garden Club operates - it supports residents across the full continuum of their residential journey without requiring every decision to be final.

Quality aged care in Perth increasingly recognises that resident satisfaction depends on ongoing personalisation - not merely the initial room or membership selection made on arrival. The Regents Garden Club is built around this principle from the ground up. It grows with residents rather than holding them to choices made during the vulnerability of transition.

EXPLORING MEMBERSHIP AND SUITE OPTIONS IN PERTH

The Regents Garden Club delivers structured aged care engagement programmes across three membership tiers - Sapphire, Ruby, and Diamond - each coordinated by qualified lifestyle staff and supported by the transparent HELF framework. Room upgrades across five Perth locations offer families a wide range of suite configurations, from companion suites through to penthouse-level ocean-view balcony suites at Scarborough. Both decisions - membership tier and room type - are made independently, giving families complete flexibility to match the residential aged care experience to individual preferences and financial circumstances.

Care specialists at each facility provide expert guidance through both decisions without pressure. Tours can be arranged across all five Perth locations - Bateman, Lake Joondalup, Booragoon, Aubin Grove, and Scarborough - allowing families to see the physical environments and speak directly with the teams who will be responsible for their loved one's daily care and experience.

Quality aged care encompasses 5-star aged care amenities and premium aged care social programmes. Experience this standard across Regents Garden's Perth locations by contacting the care team at (08) 6117 8178 to arrange a personalised facility tour today.
