A WORD FROM, THE MANAGER OF ADVENTIST RETIREMENT VILLAGE, WAHROONGA

We cannot avoid getting older. There is a less attractive option, but most of us choose to live life to the full and take our chances with old age.

Most people plan well ahead for financial security in their retirement, but too many fail to address the important practicalities of accommodation and appropriate care until, regrettably, they reach a crisis.

The most important things that need to be in place when planning for retirement are:

• financial security
• appropriate accommodation
• adequate and accessible health care
• companionship and community

Selling the family home, sorting through years of accumulated hoardings, packing, relocating – all are formidable tasks which are made more difficult if we haven’t planned for the latter years. Making the tough decisions may not be easy, but not making them may one day prove tougher on everyone.

At ARV Wahroonga, we have done everything possible to ensure that retirement is both rewarding and enjoyable. Our residents consistently affirm that the decision to move into a retirement village is one that they have never regretted. Not only has it been the solution to the economic and accommodation dilemmas of retirement, it has provided a delightful social context as they begin to experience a surprisingly pleasant mix of independence and freedom. I am convinced that village life, whether in villas or apartments, is one of the most attractive options for seniors.

Our new development in ARV in Wahroonga is about as good as it gets. We have done our homework and anticipated every need of our future residents. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find retirement accommodation in our cities. It is even more difficult to find outstanding villas and apartments at an affordable price. This is a rare opportunity which will not present itself again for quite some time. I trust that this presentation will assist you in making a decision which will positively impact on you for the rest of your life.
Thankyou for visiting this website. I hope that it inspires you to visit our Village and see for yourself, just how good it gets.
