Keeping it in the family at Leisure Lea Gardens<br />
WHEN Leisure Lea Gardens Retirement Village first opened in 1980, Val Hallowes’ parents John and Christina Mercer were the second residents to move in.<br />
Now she and her husband<br />
Malcolm have followed<br />
in their footsteps,<br />
selecting an apartment<br />
directly opposite her late<br />
parents’ unit.<br />
“It was like coming<br />
home - everything is so<br />

familiar,” says Val.<br />
“My parents lived on<br />
the Central Coast and<br />
we suggested that they<br />
move closer to us. We<br />
lived across the road<br />
from the village and<br />
watched it being built.<br />
Mum and Dad moved in<br />
one day after it opened.<br />
Dad passed away in 1985<br />
but my mum was here<br />
until 2004.”<br />
When Malcolm had a<br />
bad fall and broke his<br />
leg, they felt the time<br />
was right to move into a<br />
retirement village where<br />
they could have more<br />
support, including an<br />
on-site dining-room and<br />
home care services.<br />
“We came back<br />
to Leisure Lea Gardens<br />
and found it had<br />
been modernised and<br />
extended,”said Val.<br />
“Malcolm and I expressed<br />
an interest in an<br />
apartment and moved in<br />
December 2017. We’ve<br />
settled in really well.”<br />
On-site dining room<br />
Val and Malcolm appreciate<br />
being able to enjoy<br />
meals in the dining-room<br />
when they feel like it and<br />
Malcolm enjoys playing<br />
darts. <strong>The</strong>y were featured<br />
in a recent lifestyle photo<br />
shoot for the village and<br />
proved to be excellent<br />
“models”.<br />
