Why choose the Renaissance retirement lifestyle?
Here’s what life is like at our Victoria Point retirement village
Because life is easier
Forget the hassle of having to park your car and navigate the car park with a shopping trolley just to do the shopping. As a Renaissance resident you’ll have private access to the Victoria Point Shopping Centre located next door – which means that a trip to the shops now takes just a leisurely walk.
Health and medical services are conveniently located within the Village, and there are no long waiting room times. Visit the GP, podiatrist, physio, massage therapist, or hairdresser, or attend tai chi, aquarobics, exercise physiology or yoga classes, all in the Village leisure centre. Dental, optometry, veterinary, chiro and other services are all located just outside the Village and within walking distance.
What’s more, because you won’t have to spend time on home maintenance, you’ll have more time to spend on the things that bring you joy in life. We take care of the maintenance of your villa, inside and out – that’s including the gardens.
Because with retirement lifestyle, community is key
At Renaissance you’ll become part of a vibrant community of people who enjoy life and all it has to offer, who look out for one another and actively work towards the overall spirit and harmony of the Village.
Creating and curating a community is what we ‘do’ – but engaging with the local community is what we love. Since we began 25 odd years ago, we’ve partnered with local clubs, sporting groups and associations. It’s part of our culture.
We passionately believe that enriching our local Victoria Point community only strengthens our Renaissance community.
Because your needs change – and we can keep up
Today’s retirement villages are no longer just a stage before moving into a nursing home.
In fact, most retirement village residents never acquire a need for residential aged care – and many experience an improvement in their retirement lifestyle and health circumstances.
What’s more, the retirement village lifestyle means you’re perfectly positioned to respond to any future changes in your lifestyle. Whether these changes are temporary or permanent, the care and support options available to you in your villa can adapt to your needs.
Combine these adaptable support services and care with a purpose-built living environment that positively impacts your health, mental and emotional wellbeing, and you’ll find your retirement lifestyle is everything you ever wanted – and more.
