A brand new Lendlease clubhouse and wellness hub was officially opened at the Sherwin Rise retirement village in October.
Launched with a Wollert Wellness Festival, retirees, families and friends came along to join the celebration and take part in a day of activities.
The hub includes an indoor heated pool, change rooms, gym, health consulting rooms, hair and beauty salon, bowling greens, cinema, resident bar, kitchen and a barbeque entertaining area featuring beautifully landscaped gardens.
Along with the new facilities residents can access a personalised health and wellness program featuring social events from a dedicated village management team that includes a health and wellbeing coordinator to better support residents in their independence, focussing on personal, mental and physical health.
The day itself had residents and guests playing barefoot bowls, enjoying a barbeque and food truck treats, receiving hand massages and blow waves, fitness assessments and juice, smoothie and acai bowl making.
AFL Brownlow Medallist, multi-premiership winning captain and current Richmond football player Trent Cotchin was a special guest at the wellness festival as he spoke on the importance of health and wellness.
Lendlease’s retirement living managing director, Nathan Cockerill said the wellness of residents is a key priority for Lendlease.
“We want our residents to have a healthier and happier connected lifestyle in this new community,” he said.
“We inspire residents to thrive and be the best version of themselves by fostering connection and increasing access to health and wellbeing services and programs.”
