A happy transition for reluctant downsizers

Up until three years ago we had no intentions of moving to a retirement village, however circumstances changed and we found it difficult to maintain a house and garden. We reluctantly decided that we should downsize to a retirement village in the same neighbourhood where we had lived for 58 years.

We looked at some villages in the area and we although we knew people living at Leisure Lea Gardens, it was not the only reason for choosing this village. We found the management and residents very welcoming. An added attraction is the dining room providing a variety of meals 7 days a week, if desired.

We still participate in our own outside activities, however there is a wide range of activities here in which one can participate.

There are attractive gardens throughout the village and it is very handy to public transport.

We are pleased with our newly renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment and extremely happy living at Leisure Lea Gardens. Wished we had made the decision earlier!
