Welcome<br />

to Winders <strong>Retirement</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>Banora</strong> <strong>Point</strong><br />

The best retirements are peaceful, yet plentiful with a serene pocket<br />

of tranquillity <strong>at</strong> the heart of a thriving hub. Winders is just th<strong>at</strong> –<br />

hidden away in beautiful <strong>Banora</strong> <strong>Point</strong>, yet within easy reach of the<br />

Tweed and Gold Coast. Here in colourful gardens and bene<strong>at</strong>h tall<br />

palm trees your world will feel far away from the hustle and bustle<br />

of Tweed Heads and Surfers Paradise. As you wander the paved<br />

walkways th<strong>at</strong> wind through your landscaped village to the lake,<br />

and marvel <strong>at</strong> the serenity of your surroundings, all those nearby<br />

services and amusements seem a million miles away. At Winders,<br />

your life will be one of leisure in a calm, secure world surrounded<br />

by like-minded retirees and th<strong>at</strong> wonderful sense of m<strong>at</strong>eship th<strong>at</strong><br />

typifies <strong>RSL</strong> <strong>Care</strong>.<br />

It’s a good place to be, everyone’s friendly. The<br />

people are the best thing, but it’s also handy to<br />

everything. I feel well looked after – the sta� can’t do<br />

enough. I have suggested Winders to a few people.<br />

The homes are roomy and safe.<br />

Your serene<br />

lifestyle<br />

Tourists may fly in from all over the world<br />

for the delights of the Tweed and Gold<br />

Coast beaches and theme parks, but for<br />

you they are nearby <strong>at</strong>tractions; such is the<br />

convenience of your Winders home. You’re<br />

just a few minutes drive from the pulsing<br />

seaside heart of Tweed Heads – a sprawling<br />

coastline of cafes, restaurants and shopping.<br />

All th<strong>at</strong> leisure lies just outside your g<strong>at</strong>e,<br />

and considerably more sits ready and<br />

waiting outside your door.<br />

The heart of Winders is a vibrant village<br />

hub full of friends and activities. And if you<br />

would like to venture further afield, your<br />

village bus is on hand for local shopping and<br />

enjoyable village outings.<br />

Your serene<br />

community<br />

Your peaceful environment brings you the<br />

calm, comforting sounds of n<strong>at</strong>ure. And<br />

your Winders’ community lives by the <strong>RSL</strong><br />

<strong>Care</strong> philosophy of caring – where everyone<br />

looks out for each other and no one feels<br />

alone. We foster this sense of community in<br />

all our villages and the benefits are plain to<br />

see, with both staff and residents appearing<br />

happy, content and secure.<br />

We understand the value of peace of mind<br />

so every Winders villa is fitted with a 24<br />

hour emergency call system for help any<br />

time – day or night. You may never need it,<br />

but it’s nice to know it’s there.<br />

Frequently asked questions about<br />

retirement living <strong>at</strong> Winders<br />

IS <strong>RSL</strong> CARE AVAILABLE ONLY TO EX-SERVICE PERSONS?<br />

Not <strong>at</strong> all! We pride ourselves on providing quality aged care services and retirement lifestyle<br />

options to all members of the Australian community.<br />

WHAT IS RETIREMENT LIVING?<br />

<strong>Retirement</strong> living is a community style, independent living arrangement with specially<br />

designed residences to suit the needs of older people. There are many styles of villages and<br />

accommod<strong>at</strong>ion options in Australia, including independent living villas, units, studios and<br />

apartments, with services and facilities varying from village to village. <strong>Retirement</strong> living is<br />

being independent in your own home surrounded by neighbours and friends, with<br />

the benefit of maintained gardens and community facilities, as well as the security of a<br />

24 hour emergency call system.<br />

Our offering <strong>at</strong> Winders is integr<strong>at</strong>ed, which means if <strong>at</strong> some stage in the future your care<br />

needs change, we can support you with further care.<br />

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO MOVE INTO A RETIREMENT VILLAGE?<br />

Moving to a retirement village is a very personal decision th<strong>at</strong> differs for everyone. Only you<br />

can decide when the time is right, but don’t wait too long! The most frequent comment we<br />

hear from our residents is: “We wish we had made the move to Winders years ago.”<br />

People generally move into a retirement village like Winders when they start to feel the family<br />

home is too large and the upkeep is too much, which makes downsizing to a retirement<br />

village a gre<strong>at</strong> option. Other reasons include wanting to be more social or to be in a<br />

supportive community of like-minded people.<br />

Winders has been designed to meet your accommod<strong>at</strong>ion, social and recre<strong>at</strong>ional needs.<br />

Living in a community with people who have similar interests and hobbies often gives<br />

residents a new lease on life.<br />

DOES <strong>RSL</strong> CARE OWN WINDERS?<br />

Yes, Winders was purchased by <strong>RSL</strong> <strong>Care</strong> in 2004 and there are currently 57 villas onsite.


IS CARE AVAILABLE AT WINDERS IF MY NEEDS CHANGE<br />

IN THE FUTURE?<br />

<strong>RSL</strong> <strong>Care</strong> is an integr<strong>at</strong>ed service provider of retirement living, in-home care<br />

and support, and residential aged care. To arrange an appointment to find<br />

out how you can access care services please phone 1300 076 566.<br />

A residential aged care community is loc<strong>at</strong>ed onsite <strong>at</strong> Winders, providing<br />

care and support 24 hours a day. Our team of nursing, personal care<br />

and therapy specialists c<strong>at</strong>ers for low and high care needs in a homely<br />

environment.<br />

WILL I ‘OWN’ MY VILLA AT WINDERS?<br />

The term ‘tenure’ describes the legal basis for occup<strong>at</strong>ion or ownership rights.<br />

Tenure <strong>at</strong> Winders is in the form of a lease with <strong>RSL</strong> <strong>Care</strong>. In exchange for the<br />

lease, you provide an interest free loan to <strong>RSL</strong> <strong>Care</strong> for the market value of<br />

the villa. Under the lease arrangement, <strong>RSL</strong> <strong>Care</strong> retains ownership of the title<br />

th<strong>at</strong> comprises the entire village and signs a lease with each resident granting<br />

them a long-term (99 year) exclusive right to occupy their villa. Each resident’s<br />

occup<strong>at</strong>ion rights are protected as a result of their lease being registered on the<br />

title to the village land. A lease is the most common type of tenure enjoyed by<br />

residents of retirement villages in New South Wales.<br />

We recommend you consult a legal advisor to ensure you fully understand the<br />

implic<strong>at</strong>ions of the leasehold arrangement <strong>at</strong> Winders.<br />

DO I HAVE TO BE RETIRED TO LIVE AT WINDERS?<br />

You’ll obviously have more time to enjoy all our wonderful facilities if you are!<br />

But no, many of our residents enjoy working and volunteering after they<br />

move in. The only requirement is th<strong>at</strong> <strong>at</strong> least one person on the Residence<br />

Agreement has to be 55 or over.<br />

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE RETIREMENT LIVING<br />

COORDINATOR?<br />

The <strong>Retirement</strong> Living Coordin<strong>at</strong>or is responsible for the day to day<br />

administr<strong>at</strong>ion of the village, as well as managing the retirement living team<br />

and contractors responsible for property, gardens and grounds maintenance<br />

and emergency response. The <strong>Retirement</strong> Living Coordin<strong>at</strong>or is the primary<br />

contact for residents.<br />

CAN GUESTS STAY WITH US?<br />

Yes, this is your home. Friends and family are very welcome to stay with you in<br />

your villa for a time and may use the communal facilities while in your company.<br />

Consider<strong>at</strong>ion of other residents and their ability to also enjoy these facilities is<br />

important to remember when guests are present.<br />

CAN I BRING MY PET?<br />

At this time, only assistance animals are permitted within Winders <strong>Retirement</strong><br />

<strong>Community</strong>. Criteria apply.<br />

MAY WE RENT OR SUB-LET OUR VILLA AT WINDERS?<br />

<strong>RSL</strong> <strong>Care</strong> only allows short term rental of your villa, in accordance with the<br />

terms of the <strong>Retirement</strong> Village Act (NSW) 1999.<br />

WHAT HAPPENS IF I WANT TO GO ON HOLIDAYS?<br />

Easy! Just pack up and go, knowing th<strong>at</strong> your home and garden will be taken<br />

care of while you’re away.<br />

ARE THERE ANY OTHER FEES OR CHARGES THAT I NEED TO PAY?<br />

A monthly Recurrent Charge (RC) is payable to cover the cost of council and<br />

w<strong>at</strong>er r<strong>at</strong>es, maintenance of buildings, plant and equipment, common areas,<br />

gardens, lawns, energy costs of public and common property areas, village<br />

management and other general costs of running and maintaining the village.<br />

The RC does not include charges for personal services such as laundry, meals or<br />

cleaning the interior of your home.<br />

The details and the amount of the RC and a copy of the village budget are<br />

available upon request from your sales consultant.<br />

HOW IS THE RECURRENT CHARGE DETERMINED?<br />

The RC is determined in consult<strong>at</strong>ion with the village residents. Charges are set<br />

and reviewed annually, and can only be increased in line with infl<strong>at</strong>ion or if the<br />

residents agree by a special majority.<br />
