Ageing is a natural part of life’s journey, but it doesn’t mean slowing down or relinquishing the joys of living.

1. Prioritise Physical Activity

Physical activity is the cornerstone of active ageing, and at Centennial Living Retirement communities, we provide the ideal environment for staying physically fit. Our retirement villages have a range of amenities, many have a senior friendly gymnasium, an indoor heated pool or spa, and even a bowling green for those who enjoy this leisurely sport.

2. Stay Mentally Sharp

Mental agility is crucial for active ageing, and our communities provide opportunities for mental stimulation. In our well-appointed libraries, you can relax and immerse yourself in books or join book clubs for stimulating conversations. Our Arts and crafts rooms and computer spaces offer places for creative expression and thinking.

3. Cultivate Social Connections

Social engagement is a fundamental aspect of active ageing, and Centennial Living’s retirement communities are designed to foster a strong sense of community. With a Community Centre, bar & lounge, and regular resident events and social gatherings, you’ll have ample opportunities to connect with your neighbours and form lasting friendships. Join clubs, participate in trivia nights, or enjoy happy hour socials – our communities are vibrant and bustling with social activities.

4. Seek Preventive Healthcare

Regular health check-ups and screenings are essential for early detection and prevention of health issues. Centennial Living’s retirement villages often have an on-site nurse or wellbeing co-ordinator andare located close to medical centres and nearby healthcare providers for ease of access to medical services.

5. Maintain Independence

Independence is a core aspect of active ageing, and Centennial Living’s retirement villages are designed to support you maintain independence and autonomy with features like an emergency call system 24/7, on-site wellbeing staff, and are located close to shops and transport.
