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 />
