When the time comes to consider the place you want to call home as you enter the Third Age of life, it’s imperative that you also consider the life you want to lead. If terms such as social, active, secure, comfortable and community spring to mind, so too should three other words – Elements Retirement Living. Why? Because of the following 11 reasons and that’s just for starters.
Home Sweet Home: With all the facilities and services you could dream of, our homes are designed to match. We offer a selection of eight unit designs, crafted with convenience and comfort in mind. The range includes two or three-bedroom luxury retirement homes, apartment or garden-style accommodation, pet-friendly options and single-level access meaning no stairs and steps. We’ve got it all – and so can you!
Location! Location! Location! Nestled among the eucalpt trees of the Daisy Hill State Forest in Springwood, our community is not only located in the most picturesque of settings but ideally positioned between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Residents enjoy the luxury of ‘fresh-air’ living and having nature on your doorstep, while being only minutes from modern conveniences such as shopping centres, cafes, hospitals, places of worship and public transport.
Man’s Best Friend: Our residents love basking in great company and there’s none better than a furry friend. With pet-friendly living options available, you can bring your furry companion to enjoy the idyllic lifestyle too. There’s a place for everyone at Elements Retirement Living!
Let’s Get Physical: Regular exercise is the greatest way to keep a smile on your dial and we’ve got the facilities and equipment you need to make it a reality. Our gymnasium features a range of cardio equipment including treadmill, bike and rowing machines, with free-form hand weights, stationary load-bearing machines, balls and yoga mats. It’s also only a hop, skip and a jump to refresh yourself with a dip in the heated outdoor lap pool or spa.
Back to Nature: Our Zen Garden simply has to be seen to be believed. Custom-designed by Tokyo-based master landscaper Tamon Yamagucchi, the Japanese-themed garden features beautifully designed waterfalls, carved bridges, ponds, a tea house, cedar wood entrance and a magnificent display of plants. It is an oasis. It is tranquil. It is magnificent.
Head to The Shed: Just because you’ve farewelled your acreage or suburban block doesn’t mean you can’t have a special space to use your hands. With a large number of skilled craftspeople calling Elements Retirement Living home, our hugely popular work shed is equipped with up-to-date machinery, a wide variety of tools and a host of members keen to share their knowledge. You also don’t have to love woodwork or metalwork, with cards, darts and the odd beer breaking up the day.
See You at the Club: Boasting just over 1000sqm, Club Elements is the social hub of Elements Retirement Living and home to enough activities and services to keep the most energetic of residents constantly on the move. A few of them are so great they deserve their own mention below but make no mistake – it all starts with Club Elements, the community centre that just keeps on giving.
Raise a Toast: If there’s one thing you’ve earned after a lifetime of hard work, it’s enjoying a drink (or two) with your neighbours and friends. Thanks to our residents’ bar, you won’t have to look far to find the ideal spot to share that happy hour drink. The nearby lounge area offers another lovely location to relax with a hot beverage from the tea and coffee station or a brew from the bar.
Get Online: Befitting a modern world where we are as connected as we’ve ever been, we have established our own private, next-generation fibre optic network to enable residents to access the fastest possible internet speeds. It’s all about embracing the future, hence why we have also introduced what we believe is an Australian-first – a personal iPad for each home, and we have developed our own, simple, user friendly applications allowing our residents to connect to each other and village management.
Play the Host: Club Elements’ multi-purpose room is ready and waiting for you to create more special memories with your nearest and dearest. Whether it’s hosting a birthday party, sharing photos of your latest trips on the big-screen TV or enjoying a movie with the grandkids, all you need to do is send out the invitations. Oh, and don’t forget the adjoining, large communal kitchen that offers servery access direct to the multi-purpose room.
Take Care: As time passes, it’s inevitable challenges will arise and simple tasks may become more. Our partnership with family-owned business Heather Hill Home Care helps provide some of our residents with private and government-subsidised professional in-home services. Working alongside our Elements team, their support means residents can continue to enjoy their independence and lifestyles by assisting with tasks such as housework, shopping, meal preparation and personal care.
