Somerfield Rest Homes. Furthermore,<br />
Hoon Hay Rest Home is a dedicated<br />
dementia unit, but Hoon Hay House on<br />
the same site specialises in mental health.<br />
Also owned by Golden Healthcare<br />
Group is The Lady Wigram Village.<br />
The latest hotel style accommodation<br />
includes a restaurant, licensed bar,<br />
billiard room, movie theatre and library.<br />
They have available the last of the Villas<br />
and the apartments ready for occupation<br />
now with staff available daily to show<br />
people around.<br />
Apartments are a perfect balance<br />
of independence and peace of mind.<br />
Provided are a daily meal, morning<br />
and afternoon tea plus support in<br />
maintaining the apartment leaving more<br />
time for socialising. They have a singing<br />
group, knitting and lots of other groups<br />
to fill in the day.<br />
The next stage of Lady Wigram is<br />
now well underway, featuring another<br />
14 apartments, swimming pool, spa<br />
and gym. These will be completed by<br />
Christmas.<br />
When completed Lady Wigram<br />
will have 73 apartments, a rest home,<br />
a dementia facility and a hospital in<br />
addition to the Villas.<br />
“In our experience, a lot of people are<br />
choosing to move into retirement village<br />
life earlier because they recognise the<br />
benefits of the ease of living and it allows<br />
them greater freedom and more social<br />
interaction. This means that it’s really<br />
important for us to provide amenities<br />
that help residents to socialise and<br />
keep active. More and more, retirement<br />
villages are becoming communities<br />
within their own right.”<br />

Device to prevent<br />
snoring<br />
Why put up with broken sleep, when<br />
help is at hand with Snorex, an appliance<br />
that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and<br />
dry and raw throats.<br />
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth<br />
for comfort, and a follow up service is<br />
provided.<br />
Denise Lim has been involved with<br />
Snores for 22 years<br />
and has had a 98%<br />
success rate with<br />
people using the<br />
appliance. Snoring<br />
can be a health<br />
hazard, causing<br />
sleep apnoea, where<br />
the person actually<br />
stops breathing for<br />
short periods.<br />
It can cause<br />
short-term memory<br />
loss, tiredness and<br />
contribute to high<br />
blood pressure.<br />
The Snorex<br />
device does not feel<br />
restrictive, is noninvasive<br />
and carries<br />
a money-back guarantee.<br />
Many people are referred by ear, nose<br />
and throat specialists, however, anyone<br />
can phone for an appointment.<br />
For an information pack or to discuss<br />
the Snorex further, phone Denise Lim<br />
on 377 4318 or check out the website<br />
