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 />

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 />
