Assisted Living – the happy medium between independent living and aged care

0

Assisted Living is all about giving you a more complete set of choices and supporting you in your retirement journey, whether it’s to help you remain independent for longer, or to enable couples with varying needs to stay together.

At Uniting, they know it’s important to feel in control of your own life. Retirement can be a time to discover a refreshed sense of purpose and independence – an opportunity to grow, make new friendships and spend more time doing the things you love. But they also recognise it’s a time when your health needs and priorities can change.

This is why Uniting has introduced Assisted Living.

Your partner may require some assistance or care while you are happy to continue living independently. Traditionally, you may face a situation where you are faced with living apart – one of you remaining in your own home or a retirement village, and the other in a residential aged care home.

Uniting Bowden Brae offers you a great alternative, by providing lifestyle and care services in your apartment as and when you need them. What’s better, the assistance is provided by the same familiar on-site team, who will get to know you personally. For Uniting, it’s about giving you greater peace of mind, to live life the way you want to.

Moving into Uniting Bowden Brae means much more than just moving into an apartment. It means you’re choosing a better life for yourself.

Feel at home in your very own sanctuary, surrounded by the greenery of Sydney’s Upper North Shore. A place where your lifestyle, health and wellbeing are prioritised thanks to a wide range of facilities and activities, right at your doorstep.

Keep fit and active at the seniors’ gym and indoor pool, share stories with friends and family over a coffee in the café, or get creative through music and art with those who share similar interests in the clubroom.

Take some quality time for yourself in the village chapel or pamper yourself in their salon. It’s totally up to you. Enjoy a balance between indoor and outdoor living, with a range of pursuits to keep you happy and healthy.

The village is made up of stylish two- and three-bedroom apartments, specially designed for the over 70s. It’s easy to enjoy alfresco living, with adjoining balconies and light-filled courtyards. Think of homes you’ll be proud to entertain your family and friends in.

Everyone needs to feel safe and secure, that’s why they have an onsite village manager to ensure you can enjoy life, stress-free.

What’s more, they’ve introduced the added benefit of Flexible Deferred Management Fees, meaning the road to choosing a better life for your future is firmly in your hands.

I'm a guest contributor to Frank & Earnest. I had an idea for something I wanted to write and I sent it in for consideration for publication. And hey presto - they published me! It goes without saying that all contributions go through the editor and are sometimes changed or augmented for various reasons. Sometimes that means I share my 'by-line' with the editor. If you want to write something that might be published too, send an email to editor@frankandearnest.net.au.
