Choosing a locally owned Retirement Village
Choosing between a locally owned retirement village and a managed retirement village is a significant decision, one that impacts not just you as the retiree, but your entire family.
It’s about finding a place that feels like home, where you can enjoy your later years in comfort, security, and happiness.
Amidst the various things to consider, choosing a locally owned retirement village has some unique benefits.
A Personal Touch
Local ownership translates to a more personalised approach to management and care.
Unlike larger, corporate-owned villages, Kirkley Gardens thrives on a close-knit community and knowing every resident by name. This familiarity means you’re living in a warm, welcoming village where your needs and preferences are not just noted but remembered and respected.
It’s the kind of place where the team doesn’t just work; they care deeply about creating a positive, supportive community and really get to know the people who live here.
Quick, Responsive Decision-Making
In a locally owned retirement village like Kirkley Gardens, decisions are made on-site by those who are directly involved in the day-to-day running of the village.
This means any concerns or suggestions from residents can be addressed swiftly, without the red tape often associated with larger, impersonal corporations. The ability to adapt and respond to residents’ needs ensures a living environment that is not only comfortable but also continually evolving.
Understanding the Local Lifestyle
Being part of the local landscape, Kirkley Gardens is intrinsically connected to the Lithgow community and its way of life.
This local knowledge allows us to tailor activities etc that our residents really enjoy. We’re also conscious that not everyone wants to participate in group activities, and we totally understand that. Your involvement is as much or as little as you like.
