Well-being & Support

There’s a sense of relief that you get from living here

Here at Fairview, we prioritise the well-being of our residents.

Our village is designed for seniors who want to enjoy the best aspects of retirement living, with the reassurance that support is available when needed.

“I knew it was time to move. The garden and house maintenance were becoming too much, especially with an older house needing constant upkeep. I didn’t want to burden my kids with my worries — they’re all so busy. It’s been good for me.”

- Margaret

We want you to feel supported

We are here to help you feel secure and cared for, within a community committed to your well-being.

What does support look like at Fairview Lifestyle Village?

We understand that life can be unpredictable and that people need different kinds of support to thrive. In order to meet these varying needs, we offer a wide range of support services.

How we support

Support with everyday living

There are times when small daily chores add up to become a burden. This is especially true if you don’t feel well, or are dealing with a stressful event in your life. Being able to access help when you need it can be a great relief. So what kind of support do you have access to in our village?

Support with house-keeping

For many, retirement comes with the chance to do less work and more of what you love! You can choose to care for your home or have our housekeeping team clean it for you – whatever suits you best. You can request one-time or regular cleanings. People who need temporary help due to illness or accidents love this service.

Support with maintenance

Maintenance issues around their homes were a big worry for many residents before they moved into our village. A full-time Handyman is on-site to manage maintenance requests from residents. It’s a relief to know someone will be around soon to take care of these chores.

“I knew it was time, I knew I didn’t need to be working in the garden at least one full day a week. I kept getting things around the house that needed maintenance, and of course, an older house needed it. All sorts of things went awry. Those are the things you panic about and obsess about until they fix. You can’t help it. You have got no one at home to talk to about it. I didn’t want to worry my kids. They are all very busy”.

Support with meals

With a restaurant and cafe on site, residents have access to great value, nutritious meals prepared by an experienced chef. Our onsite cafe also offers delicious homemade heat-and-eat meals.

“One of the most important things in a village is to have delicious meals at a price people can afford. “

Support with transport

Our community has a resident-led transportation service. Whether you need to go shopping, attend a medical appointment, or go anywhere else, just ask. The group always arranges day trips for special outings, including mystery trips.

“We’ve got our own bus which takes you to the shop. If you want to go on a tour, make up a tour and off you go”.

Support with physical fitness

Vitality is strongly associated with happiness and well-being. Because we know how important it is to feel vibrant, we offer a variety of activities. Our facilities include a gym, heated pool, petanque, and bowls. We also have resident-led groups like darts, table tennis, tai chi, ‘walk n talk’ and table tennis.

Support for men

Our village has a strong culture of brotherhood. Our Single Malt Whisky Club for men is such an example. Coming together to combat loneliness and isolation among older men through a shared love of whisky – what better way to bond?

Residents understand that men may have a harder time adjusting to village life, so they go out of their way to offer support.

Our village has a unique way to check in with each other and welcoming new members via a resident-led well-being group.

“Plenty of blokes come in with their wives saying they didn’t want to move, but now they’re glad they did. There’s a lot to do here — bowls, the workshop, and many of us have joined the whiskey club. It’s a great place to enjoy life.”

- Ray

Support for women

The bond of ‘sisterhood’ is an important and special one shared by many women throughout life. The bond transcends genetics, culture, and age and connects women in a way that cannot be explained.

Such a bond continues in our village. Checking in with each other, taking strolls together, sharing coffee or a glass of wine, and pursuing common interests are all ways that women support one another here.

Support for extended family

Our community is designed to make it easy to entertain extended family, and to have grandchildren come and stay. There is a heated pool, BBQ patio and outdoor area, restaurant and café. This is a private function room that is available to residents for free.

Fairview is a caring community

As a community, we understand that care doesn’t just mean addressing physical needs – it’s about creating an environment that fosters a culture of kindness, compassion, and understanding.

A thriving community is one where residents actively assist each other, lending a helping hand whenever needed.

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.

We take pride in being a vibrant and inclusive community where everyone feels welcome and valued.

Here’s how some residents describe their supportive community

“

Well-being support

“My job at the beginning was to welcome everyone to the village, so I would go in and sit with them and it was fun. We gave them a glass of wine, and we often staged it for late in the afternoon because that was a good time when people were relaxing more. We made a lot of friends”.

Helping hands

“When I came back from the hospital two wonderful people in the village said – ‘Mary, we’re going to do your shopping for you, and they still do my shopping. I make a list and ring them when they’re going, and they get what I need.”

A sense of empathy and understanding

“There is a lot of care here – a lot of caring people. If someone gets sick everyone cares and drops things off to people. It’s residents in the well-being group. They’ll drive you to the hospital for an appointment which is a huge thing for me because there are a lot of people who can’t drive …”
