Below Gardens and<br />

walkways are important<br />

to the residents.<br />

Right & below right<br />

High ceilings add to the<br />

light and airy feel of the<br />

living spaces.<br />

There is a strong sense of community here—when our<br />

residents wake in the morning, they raise their blinds to let<br />

their neighbours know they’re OK. It’s beautiful—they all<br />

look out for each other. Violette Sahyouni, Village Manager<br />

A few months ago<br />

120 people attended a<br />

traditional Australian<br />

family BBQ—residents and<br />

staff and all the families.<br />

has turned its attention to introducing<br />

other vital services such as a Better<br />

Balance Clinic, a weekly dining program<br />

and a computer club. the facilities are<br />

being progressively renovated with<br />

garden makeovers, new carpet, paint<br />

and furniture being installed under the<br />

creative eye of an interior designer.<br />

“it’s an old building, but we’re working<br />

on it—and the residents love it,” says<br />

Violette. “in fact, we often take people<br />

in for respite care and once they’ve<br />

experienced the community atmosphere<br />

and the level of care the arV team<br />

provides, they usually want to stay on<br />

permanently.”<br />
