Community & Friendship

Community plays a big role in successful ageing

“Living well” and “being well” go hand in hand.

The social and physical environment we live in plays a major role in how we age. Where you live influences your lifestyle, opportunities, and overall well-being.

A retirement complex with a strong sense of community can greatly enhance your quality of life, playing a vital role in supporting both your health and happiness. Being part of a connected, welcoming environment fosters a deep sense of belonging that makes every day more fulfilling.

“A warm, comfortable environment with plenty of activities to enjoy. We often have neighbours over at our villa for drinks or dinner.”

Socialising and solitude – the perfect blend

Fairview Lifestyle Village is the perfect place for social butterflies and introverts alike. We understand that not everyone’s the same, and that’s okay.

There’s no pressure to be anyone other than who you are – our retirement complex is a relaxed and accepting place where you can be yourself.

A friendly, caring environment

The strength and happiness of a community are largely determined by its support network. A thriving community is one where residents help each other when they need it.

Whether it’s a shoulder to cry on during tough times or simply sharing resources to help improve someone’s quality of life, the beauty of residents supporting each other creates a sense of closeness and belonging that is unparalleled.

“I can say it is a major positive in your life. That there are like minded people. So if you want company it is there. You can seek it for yourself. You can meet people for coffee and it’s wonderful. So I haven’t looked back. I think it’s been extremely good for me and the family feels that too. Because they don’t need to worry, and I don’t want to be a burden”.

There is a strong sense of togetherness here

Study after study has found that health and psychological well-being improves for seniors when they have friends. But as we age, our social circles can shrink. We retire from work, our kids move away, and loved ones pass on. This can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation.

That’s not what we want for our residents.

At Fairview Lifestyle Village, we believe that connection is essential to both health and happiness. That’s why we’ve designed the village to encourage interaction, with a variety of amenities and shared spaces where residents can come together. Our community thrives on mutual care, with residents and staff always looking out for one another.

Collaborative living at its best

Residents are actively involved in our community. Everyone has a say in what happens, creating a true sense of community and belonging.

We understand that autonomy is crucial to well-being. The wellbeing group, community committee, and various activities and transport options are shaped with input from those who live here, ensuring they reflect the needs and interests of the community.

“The resident’s committee oversees the activities. I think we are unique in that way. Other villages employ staff who organise everything, which is more restrictive. But here, we make our own days, so there’s a sense of purpose and pride in the fact that it’s ours.
