Aged Care/Tyler Village/History of Tyler Village

History of Tyler Village1983

Originally named St Anna’s and owned by the Salvation Army, Tyler Village rests within a peaceful and relaxed area, surrounded by open expanses of green grass and natural bush, while still being only minutes from the heart of residential Prospect Vale. 

  • Tyler Village, which was originally called St Anna’s, was a private aged care hostel established in 1974 by the Salvation Army, who purchased the surrounding land from private owners. Following years of development, residents moved in from the organisation’s other aged care home, named Cooinda.
  • St Anna’s was renamed Tyler House in 1983 due to the public mistaking it for a Catholic- connected home. It was named after Charles Tyler, who was Tasmania’s first Salvation Army Captain.
  • With attention to the complete health and wellbeing of our residents, the services we offer combine specialist care with quality of life. Beyond our standard, high-level care offerings, further services accommodate specific needs of residents, including a wide range of events and activities to inspire resident participation and connection with the local community
  • Tyler House was renamed Tyler Village in 2003 when the home went through several key upgrades and renovations, including the development of eight independent units on the home’s grounds.  
  • In 2006, Respect took management of Tyler Village and is proud to continue the home’s exemplary history of care and support for residents and their families across the Prospect Vale community.
