The James Milson Village, located at the corner of High St and Clark Rd North Sydney, is a community project providing accommodation for 240 aged residents over five levels of care. The Village is conducted by the North Sydney Retirement Trust, a charity incorporated under the Corporations Law.
The Village, which opened in 1974 currently contains 104 self care units, 56 two bedroom and 48 one bedroom. All accommodation at the Village is either recently built or totally renovated. The Village also contains 58 hostel units (low care), 19 of which are for people with dementia in a Special Needs Wing. Additionally the Village includes a 57 bed nursing home (high care) within which there is a dementia facility for 16 residents. The nursing home is a joint venture between the Trust and the Uniting Church. An experienced and competent team, directed and supported by a dedicated Board, professionally manages James Milson Village and is tasked with the responsibility of ensuring: respect for each person regardless of religious convictions or nationality; that the facility is maintained to a high standard and operates efficiently and ethically; and; that the amenity is maintained in compliance with highest community standards and relevant government regulations All staff of the Village work together to meet the aim of our Mission Statement, which is: “To continue our caring ministry for the ageing by providing with commitment  and respect, care and support for each resident as an individual” While social interaction is encouraged each individual self care apartment is designed to provide maximum independence and privacy so that each resident may participate in Village community activities or not as they choose. In essence life is meant to be easy at James Milson for people who hold ethical values and who wish to be part of an active and caring community within a secure environment. Facilities include, hairdressing salon, visiting library, chapel, barbeque/picnic areas, outings in Village bus, diversional therapies, visiting religious services. The Village is served by excellent public transport, close to Milsons Point railway station, shopping and recreational facilities, Ensemble Theatre, North Sydney Pool (heated).
The logo for the Village encapsulates many of its characteristics thus: The five waves symbolize both the five levels of care and the close proximity to the water (many of the units have splendid harbour views).The leaf and the green colour symbolize the life and growth of the Village and its residents. The cross symbolizes the presence of a caring christian attitude of care in the Village. The circle symbolizes the unity of the facilities within the Village – subject to availability of accommodation, it is anticipated that residents will be able to move, as and when their health dictates, to and from the different levels of care within the Village.
