Are you a retiree who is looking to downsize? Is maintaining a house and garden becoming too physically demanding? Do you wish that you lived closer to friends or enjoyed a more active social life? If so, making the move to a retirement village or resort might be the perfect lifestyle option for you.
Retirement villages and lifestyle resorts look very similar from the outside but there are some key differences between the two. So, how can seniors find a community that’s right for them?
For those looking at retirement communities across the greater Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Hunter region, a good place to start is the Newcastle Hunter Retirement Village and Resort Expo, on Sunday 29th and Monday 30th June, 2025 at Souths Merewether. Open from 10am – 3pm both days, admission to the expo is free. Parking is available at the Club. It's the perfect opportunity to explore a wide range of retirement options — all in a single outing, all under one roof.
Visitors can take their time visiting with the many different organisations displayed in separate booths, gathering information and asking as many questions as they wish about retirement living. The value of the Expo lies in the wealth of information it provides, allowing seniors to discuss their preferences directly with industry representatives who can recommend the best fit for every budget and lifestyle.
Moreover, the event is a forum for seniors to gain a true understanding of what retirement living entails.
Retirement life offers far more than four walls and a roof. It is a way of life characterised by freedom, independence, and the companionship of one’s peer group. It prioritises wellbeing with services and amenities that support residents in remaining physically, socially, and intellectually active for as long as possible.
This is why the Expo is so valuable. It empowers seniors with the fundamental knowledge they need to find their ideal community.
Retirement should not be thought of as a real estate investment. Above all, it is a lifestyle investment. Finding a great community requires a lot of research, but it’s worth the effort. The right decision will pay health and happiness dividends for years to come.
