move into retirement village life earlier<br />
because they recognise the benefits of the<br />
ease of living and it allows them greater<br />
freedom and more social interaction. Lady<br />

the central retail hub of the Wigram Skies<br />
subdivision, and only a short drive to<br />
Hornby communities within their own<br />
right.” Says Lady Wigram Manager Olivia<br />
