Find plenty to do

-

FOR some people retirement can be a bit lonely, but not for the folks at TriCare’s Willow Glen Retirement Community.

A friendly face can often be found, whether you are simply collecting your mail or if you are participat­ing in the social activities organised at the village.

These activities can range from morning tea, to a night out at a local restaurant, to a visit to the RACQ Care Flight helicopter or a friendly croquet or billiard competitio­ns.

And don’t forget the many, often themed, dinner functions in the village owned community centre.

Residents may participat­e in as many, or as few, social functions as they wish — there is no pressure.

Living in a retirement community can also bring peace of mind to your loved ones, as they may be concerned you are alone and dread the thought of you having an accident such as a fall.

Willow Glen offers a 24 hour emergency call service available at the press of a button, so you can assure your loved ones you have help at hand if required.

The gardeners take care of the gardens so you can enjoy the peace and tranquilli­ty of a beautiful garden without all the hard work, although if you would like to tend a patch then this can be arranged.

There is an indoor pool for gentle exercise and the village backs onto the West Creek Reserve Gardens which have an abundance of walking paths to help keep you fit and healthy.

You have worked hard all of your life and now it’s time to enjoy what life has to offer.

Enjoy your independen­ce in a secure environmen­t, with people of a similar age and with similar interests.

You can see the luxury of Willow Glen now by taking a virtual tour fromthe comfort of your own home.
