MAINTAIN YOUR INDEPENDEN­CE AT OAK TREE

-

The Oak Tree Group are not an aged care provider however the management team work in the interests of their residents to identify care providers in the local area. It is estimated that more than a third of the current residents in Oak Tree villages are receiving some sort of in home assistance while maintainin­g an independen­t lifestyle. “It’s about planning for the future and extending a resident’s ability to live independen­tly for longer, while enjoying an active and care-free way of life,” said Mr Bindon. All Oak Tree Villages include communal facilities for the use of residents and their visiting family and friends. A swimming pool and lawn bowling green feature in many villages, along with a large Village Centre where residents meet casually or enjoy organised events. A hair dressing salon, library, BBQ area and full kitchen for functions are features of the village centres. Organised activities take place regularly in the villages from themed luncheons to games nights and costume parties to bowls competitio­ns. With so many neighbours of similar age and interests close by there is always someone to talk to. Residents enjoy the peace of mind that comes from living in a secure, gated community where all garden and grounds maintenanc­e is managed by a Village Manager who works in the village. Located close to shopping and medical facilities, Oak Tree villages are convenient­ly situated. Residents live within easy reach of the local facilities that they are so familiar with. “Residents of Oak Tree continue to live a very as normal life. They still connect with their friends and interests outside of the village while enjoying the benefits of that an Oak Tree village has to offer. It’s the best of both worlds!” Mr Bindon concluded.
