Family bonds grow at RetireAustralia villages


Being in lockdown was never going to stop Forresters Beach Retirement Village Manager Julie Ramage and Newling Gardens Village Manager Sue Nelson from spending quality time with their mums this Mother’s Day.

Julie’s mum, Mary Pendergast, and Sue’s mum, Daphne Brazel, just happen to live in the same RetireAustralia village where their daughters work.

Julie and Sue were each surprised with their Mum’s decision to move into their villages a few years ago, but feel blessed to get to spend more time together and see each other in a new light.

Family bonds are not uncommon across RetireAustralia’s 27 villages, with other retirement communities also having a familial connection. On the Central Coast, one of our residents at Wood Glen also takes a short walk over the road each day to visit her Mum in our Tarragal Glen community.

Proof that at RetireAustralia, we really are just one big, happy family!
