Happily ever after

Tuesday, 19 March 2024

On International Day of Happiness, we asked residents across Australia to share their experience of living in a Keyton village.

At Keyton, retirement living is all about promoting an independent lifestyle and having a healthy and happy life. Highlighting the vibrant aspects of village life— from engaging in social activities and forming supportive friendships, to embracing a healthy lifestyle and cherishing shared memories, hear all about it from the horse’s mouth.

Here is what the residents had to say:

John, Pittwater Village, NSW

“We’ve got no reason to want to leave or do anything else. It’s quite comfortable, and we feel very well looked after as well. All in all, it’s worked out very well.”

Pam, Viewbank Gardens, VIC

“Every day, I tell my son how much I love living here. He agrees and says it was the best thing I could have done.”

Paul, Little Bay Apartments, NSW

“As a strong believer in living a fit and healthy life, I find health and happiness in village life. I am loving it.”

Ken, Keperra Sanctuary, QLD

“When my wife, Jeanette, died 3 years after we moved in, I thought of moving out. But I’m glad I stayed. It’s excellent here, and I’m on the resident’s committee now. It’s sociable and easy to make friends.”

June, Parkland Villas Woodlands, WA

“We made lots of friends over the years, there were many regular occasions to get together and have some fun. I’ve got very fond memories.”

Lisa and Michael, The Grove Ngunnawal, ACT

“We moved at the right time by moving in younger. It’s allowed us to get more involved with activities, connect with new people and develop wonderful friendships. Combined with the safety of living in a gated-style community, we couldn't recommend it more highly.”

Jill and Ross, Nelsons Grove, NSW

"It's the best move we've ever made. There are always plenty of activities and outings on offer. We can dip in or out as much as we like."

Whether participating in communal events, enjoying leisurely walks, or contributing to resident committees, the residents love the joy of having the freedom to choose where and how they live – and to make those choices with confidence. It’s truly the ‘days’ of happiness.
