Introducing a comprehensive report on the wellbeing of Australia's retirees.

The Keyton Retirement Living Lifestyle Report is a biennial survey over 4,500 Australian adults aged over 55 years, who are retired or semi- retired (excluding those living in aged care and those with dependents under 18 living at home). This report provides us with a stronger understanding of the many things that contribute to a fulfilling life in retirement, including securing the future, overall wellbeing and confidence for the future. The data shows that:

•            59% of Aussie over-55s say they worry about the cost of living more now than they did in 2021.
•            More than half of retirees living in a retirement village are less likely to be concerned about the cost of living.
•            30% of Aussie over-55s are still participating in some form of paid or volunteer work.
•            Aussie retirees living in a retirement village want to try new activities including online dating (9%) and outdoor adventure (25%).

Keyton residents are enjoying busy, healthy lives

Arthur is rocking retirement

"It's about enjoying ourselves, learning new skills, having fun and giving enjoyment to others."

Arthur Tucker has been playing guitar and bass in bands since 1960, and now he shares his passion for music with the whole village. His band Smith Avenue has become the Townsend Park’s exclusive house band with a set list of over 300 songs.

“We are happily revisiting our youth as are our fellow residents as they dance the night away,” says Arthur.

Apart from the rock band’s regular gigs, Arthur loves the village’s sense of community, friendships, safety, and security of living in Townsend Park.

Kate and Bert are social butterflies

“There’s everything you can think of, you name it, we’ve got it here!”

Kate and Bert have been married for more than 60 years and have three adult children together. Their kids wanted to know that their parents would be well looked after, so they fully embraced Kate and Bert’s decision to call Classic Residences their new home.

Social butterflies at heart, the couple has fully embraced the bustling community. Kate’s taken up pool and dabbles in craft and croquet, while Bert loves darts (and wine!) and plays each week.

Cruising through life's adventures

"It’s a fantastic community to live in with a thriving social life."

For John and Marion life is full of adventure. Independently they made the decision to move to Keyton’s Rochford Place. Both are super social and have enjoyed the community and social life with once a month dinners, Friday night raffles and exercise classes that bring a group together each week.

The couple met in the village in 2022 and tied the knot last June, finding love was an unexpected bonus of moving to a retirement village. To celebrate, they took a cruise to Port Douglas with 24 of their closest friends from the village, an adventure and celebration they say marked the beginning of their new life together.
