Judith noticed a change in her husband Bob’s demeanour. She found that Bob was sitting at home alone a lot, his hearing had deteriorated and Judith felt he was becoming isolated.
For Judith, moving to a retirement village was a pragmatic decision. Being alone so much wasn’t good for Bob. Judith still enjoyed going out and meeting friends but Bob simply wasn’t interested.
"We're happy as clams, it's the best decision we've ever made."
Residents, Judith and Bob
"Oh my goodness, they say, we didn’t expect this!"
Resident, Judith
As for the financial aspect, Ryman’s fixed weekly fees mean that worries such as increasing council rates no longer apply. Their fees are fixed for life* in their apartment. Meaning their decision was a ‘no brainer!’
The village lifestyle has provided the adjustment they needed to cater for Bob’s needs and provides security for their future. They tell us, “We’re happy as clams, it’s the best decision we’ve ever made.”
