2 WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT July 2019 ADVERTISEMENT Lots happening at Linda Jones As the fi rst group of townhouse residents settle into their new homes at Linda Jones Retirement Village, the construction team are onto getting the next lot of townhouses and apartments ready for move-ins elsewhere on site. The very rst residents moved in at the end of May and the second group in late July. By the end of August there will be around 60 residents enjoying life in townhouses at Linda Jones and by early November, the rst apartments are set to be ready for their new owners to move in. Sales Advisor David de Veth says the new residents are already adapting well to village life and are enjoying participating. “We have set up a temporary village centre in one of the townhouses and that’s where everyone goes for the weekly Happy Hours, Triple A exercise classes and for morning and afternoon teas. “Happy Hour is a blast and the residents are all loving it, they’re like old friends now,” David said. Adds fellow Sales Advisor Sharon Tainui, “We have an awesome new staff member Ann-Maree who is our Activities Coordinator. “She’s been organising lots of outings and fun activities and on 16 July we had a very successful event at the Hamilton Golf Club with Vicki Lee singing a tribute to Dame Vera Lynn with songs of yesteryear. “There were 94 people altogether who were a mixture of residents from the village and those who will be moving in soon and they all enjoyed the great event and lovely catering,” said Sharon. There are lots more exciting events to look forward to, including a presentation from fashion designer Annah Stretton. A number of showhome open afternoons are also scheduled for August which will give members of the public the chance to have a tour of the brand new showhome and get a taste of what’s on offer. Sharon said there were still some great homes available to buy. “We have apartments for sale with fantastic outlooks.” she said. “It will be great once that rst apartment block is open as people will be able to get onto the site and see the outlook from the apartments, some of Village family is growing - first residents Jillian and Clifford moved in to the village in May. which look over neighbouring Featherstone Park and some over the Waikato River. “It is truly going to be a beautiful village,” she said. The village will be comprised of a mixture of townhouses and apartment blocks on land which gently slopes down from River Road towards the Waikato River. The main village centre, which will open in 2020, will house the communal lounge and dining room along with a library, beauty and hair salons, gymnasium, pool and village café. David said it had been the ‘coolest thing’ to see residents move in and get a taste of what was to come. “I have got to know them over quite some time and I feel very close to them. “Part of our job is to do what we can to make their transition easier and it’s a real privilege to be able to help people through the process.” Many older people can feel isolated in their communities as their neighbours are often out at work all day or leading such busy lives they don’t have time to socialise, Sharon says, but at Linda Jones it’s the opposite. “At the village there’s already that sense of community growing where you know all your neighbours and share experiences with them. “That has been the best part of my job, seeing that evolve,” she said. For both David and Sharon, working at Ryman is more than just a job. David sums it up: “It’s like the residents have become a part of the Linda Jones family, and I’m part of the Linda Jones family, so they’re part of my family. “It’s a pretty special experience really.” LINDA JONES RETIREMENT VILLAGE Brand new apartment plans available now!
