It was a big decision to make such a big move from interstate (Orange NSW), but I have not regretted my move for one minute. I am very happy with the lifestyle I now have, living in comfortable surroundings with congenial people. The staff are very thoughtful and considerate, and I appreciate the conveniences such as a hairdresser, and a bus to take me shopping.
It is indeed a carefree lifestyle when you're not worring about the normal household problems, painting the house and general maintenance of the property for example.
I may be one of the oldest residents at over 90 years young, but I am still involved in all of the Retirement Villages activities. These range from the weekly Happy Hour, to the monthly trips by the Village Bus to places such as O'Reillys in the Gold Coast Hinterland, and on so many other trips arranged by our social committee. And this keeps me young in heart and mind.
