Over the past 20 years, Odyssey founder Phil Usher has made it his life’s work to create a better model of ageing for Australians.

My Mum who passed from dementia-related complications was the driving force of why I’ve spent my life creating an alternative to traditional aged care. When I was considering an aged care home for her, she told me she didn’t want to live in a box, she didn’t want to be told to get up at a certain time and live a regimented life.

She wanted to be able to keep her dog, Honey, to have family stay, she didn’t want someone washing her delicates, she wanted privacy and dignity. At the time, I couldn’t find a place that offered her the kind of life she wanted, so I made improving aged care my odyssey. If it’s not good enough for the people I love, it’s simply not good enough.

My determination to create the best alternative to aged care led to a fresh, heart-centered approach known as a Lifestyle Care Community. I wanted to give the power back to the residents, put people first where you have your own home in a lifestyle-orientated community, couples stay together, pets are welcome, grand kids have sleepovers, and most importantly – your comfort, dignity and independence is the first priority.
