Information Sessions

I had to write to let you know how worthwhile last week’s Information Session at Renaissance was for us.

The entire session was beautifully orchestrated — from the warm welcome we received when we arrived and were offered a cup of tea/coffee, all the way through to the lovely light lunch and visit to the display villa.

The highlight of the morning was the Information Session — superbly presented with the PowerPoint presentation and most informative commentary, with generous time offered for audience questions, as well as a quality, 40-page, spiral-bound information booklet! This was a presentation par excellence, fully informing participants about retirement living, without a trace of hard sell regarding Renaissance.

To have a light lunch — including a delectable dessert with tea/coffee personally served — offered at the close of the Information Session was delightful. Having a small number of residents at the session and luncheon was excellent, enabling attendees to directly interact with those living at the village and ask questions.

Finally, the Information Session came to a fitting close when the attendees were invited to visit the display villa.

In closing, thank you Andrew, and all the staff behind the scenes, who have made last week’s Information Session a most profitable venture!

We were not planning to go into a retirement village just yet, but when Janine invited us to inspect our villa at Renaissance, we knew immediately this was the one we wanted. 

My forty-something son came with us on the inspection and afterwards told us he wanted to move into Renaissance too. We realised moving in meant we faced downsizing not only our house but also our stuff. We have been pleasantly surprised by just how few of our possessions we haven’t been able to fit in. There is plenty of storage and the rooms are a good size. 

Two things have greatly impressed us. The first is the beauty of the gardens. It is a tonic for the soul to walk through them on the way to the shops. The second is how helpful and friendly everybody has been. As we move around the village people said ‘G’day’ or give you a wave. We’ve been here two months now and are beginning to settle in. It’s a huge relief to know it was the right decision to come.

We visited family at Renaissance Lifestyle Living, Victoria Point on several occasions and was made to feel so welcome by all of the residents that we met. We were so impressed by the dozens of activities available to residents each week and the excellent, well maintained facilities, that we relocated from Adelaide to Renaissance to be part of such a wonderful community. Anyone thinking of retirement living should consider Renaissance. You won’t be disappointed. Tony, Tracey and Rosemarie.

Good morning Janine

I thought I'd take the time to provide you with some feedback on the session we attended yesterday morning at Renaissance.

We came away with all the answers we were looking for.  As you are aware we have visited other villages and had been provided lots of information, but attending a session with other people was most helpful.  Different people ask different questions and more topics are raised.

Andrew did a wonderful job - he is obviously very knowledgeable about the Retirement Village Act and was able to respond to all the questions raised in a very professional manner.

Once again, thank you all for inviting us into your Village yesterday.  If you email on a regular basis, with updates or upcoming villas, we'd appreciate being added to your list.
