MAKING ROOM FOR QUALITY TIME

Moving to a retirement village and enjoying an easier, low maintenance way of life provides the opportunity for families to recoup quality time together, says Mark Bindon of leading provider of Retirement Villages, The Oak Tree Group.

The difficulty of maintaining the family home is the main motivating reason people consider retirement living.

“As we age we can’t do all of the things we could when we were younger; climbing stairs, mowing lawns, cleaning gutters, even general housework can become overwhelming and many seniors have to rely on assistance from family members,” said Mr Bindon.

“This puts unnecessary burdens and stress on families, who are already busy with their own lives, when life could be so much simpler once settled comfortably into an Oak Tree Village.” Oak Tree Retirement Villages offers seniors the opportunity to downsize to a smaller yet stylish and comfortable, easy to

manage home; they make life even easier by managing the maintenance of all lawns, gardens, internal and external villa areas. This care-free, low maintenance way of life removes arduous tasks off the “chores list” and gives residents, and their families, their free time back to spend together. “That’s what retirement should be about – relaxing, socialising and enjoying life a lot more,” said Mr Bindon.

“And with like-minded neighbours and friends close by in the Village, coupled with purposebuilt recreational facilities, there are endless people to mingle with and new activities to participate in.

“This helps keep our residents busy and mentally engaged, and families are most welcome to join in – attend events, visit on their own accord, even stay for short holidays to spend quality time with mum and dad – this includes the grandkids!”
