Founded in 1974, Lisle Villages is a not-for-profit entity possessing a strong experienced board of management committed to creating a secure, affordable and fulfilling lifestyle for its residents. "Affordable living in the heart of Mount Claremont and Nedlands' are words most people probably do not hear in this time of high inflation and living costs," Lisle Villages CEO Brett Shea said. "Yet, Lisle Villages delivers this and more for the select few who choose to make their new home set in two of Perth's most sought-after locations." Mr Shea said at the heart of Lisle Villages was an affordable and close-knit community designed for people to live life to the fullest. "Retirement is the time when you should enjoy life - According to 66-year-old Wendy Sweet, who began living at Lisle Lodge in Mount Claremont with her husband 12 months ago, it was the sense of community and safety which inspired their move. "The benefits include having people around you, knowing, there's always someone there if you need them, and management is very supportive and close by as well," she said. In addition to settling into a close-knit community, there are opportunities for socialising and activity around every corner. Whether you already have a keen interest or are looking to develop some new hobbies and skills, your day is open to adventure and purpose. From libraries and clubrooms to morning teas and social excursions, there are plenty of opportunities to bond with your neighbours and community. Ms Sweet said her village also had club, providing a good opportunity to spend time outside and soak up the lovely natural surrounds and wildlife, especially the birdlife of nearby Lake Claremont. If you need help or inspiration with exercise, then options liberated from the hassle of large homes and garden maintenance," he said. "Our facilities include our two Mount Claremont residences Lisle and Leaweena lodges, as well as our Nedlands residence Melvista Lodge. "These have well-cared-for common gardens, community rooms, libraries, a 24/7 emergency call system on request, a visiting hairdresser and a podiatrist. "They are also close to public transport and the scenic parks of Lake Claremont and Mason Gardens." According to Mr Shea, retirement village living means so much more than simply moving to a new home. "It opens up the potential to truly maximise the years ahead and live life to the fullest," he said. "Lisle Villages is your opportunity to live and enjoy independence in a very affordable setting. "Our sense of community, the friendships and social life which emerge are the real surprises for many who choose one of our three villages." such as chair yoga or group exercise classes can help with movement and motivation. "The good part is you can be as active as you want to be," Ms Sweet said. "You can participate if you want to, but if you don't, it's absolutely fine you can just choose what you'd like to do." When it comes to living in a retirement village, it is key to acknowledge that you will always be in proximity to neighbours. However, Ms Sweet said it was still easy to keep to yourself when you wished, while there would always be the added benefit of having the door open to building community connections. "We live our own life - we're friendly with everyone but can be as independent as we want to be," Ms Sweet said. "When you're living in a close community like this, it's difficult to please everybody, so we all have to be aware of each other, and be considerate and respectful." For those who still want to go out or travel regularly, retirement villages can help to balance your peace of mind and personal freedom, as you have neighbours nearby and a lock-up-and-leave dwelling.
