Everybody needs a good buddy!

As the De Paul Manor Estate

community grows with new residents

moving in on a weekly basis, so does

the ever-expanding list of activities

and hobby groups that have formed.

Joining the line up of Bocce, cards,

Yoga, craft, quiz nights and Tai Chi

(to name a few) are line dancing, a

new gardening group, mahjong and

a library interest group headed up by

a retired librarian.

Something for everyone

The best thing as far as the

residents are concerned is that

they can enjoy all these activities

without leaving the community.

A perfect place to retire for the over 65’s

Despite the fact that De Paul Manor

Estate is an independent-living

community, residents enjoy the

peace of mind of priority access

to the adjacent award winning De

Paul Villa aged care facility should

the need ever arise. That need

became a reality for one couple

recently after failing health meant

one partner needed full time care.

The good news is that now the other

partner can take a short stroll from

De Paul Manor Estate to the aged

care facility next door for daily visits

De Paul Villa Aged Care

and arrangements have been made

so the couple can continue to attend

community events together that are

held in the Residents’ Retreat.

De Paul Manor Estate also employs

a Residents Services Coordinator

(Jess) who is qualified in case

management and counselling and

is available to offer residents and

their families confidential guidance

on a range of subjects from personal

care to medication supervision. But it

doesn’t stop there; the private estate

provides a free pharmaceutical drop

off, 24-hour emergency call buttons

in each apartment and the latest

security measures for peace of mind.

To make moving in to the new

community just that little bit easier,

De Paul Manor Estate residents have

created a special ‘Buddy System’ to

help make the transition as smooth

as possible for newcomers. So when

new residents move in they are

assigned a ‘buddy’ to show them

around and introduce them to other

residents and the range of activities

and interest groups on offer.

Why I love life at the ‘Manor’

Care is as close as next door

We love the independent-living aspect, but also the interaction with other residents. We really enjoy using the gym as it is extremely important to keep the limbs supple and working.Sabina and Gerry

Laughter abounds at our Monday afternoon card group,

it’s great to be able to not only organise, but also

participate in the growing range of activities available.

I also love the caring nature of the residents and staff.

Jill

I love that I can have my wonderful “Mr Finnegan” with me here. My family often come and stay with me and are delighted with the support and care I receive. I also love that I can walk to the Church which is so close by. Lilly and Mr Finnegan

I enjoy the relaxing daily read of the Australian, along

with a coffee and a chat with residents passing through

the Retreat. The Manor has met and surpassed all our

expectations of life in a retirement village environment.

Jack

Security was an important issue for us. We are very happy in our lovely three bedroom unit and delighted that we can go away on our travels, lock up and know that fellow residents and staff are keeping an eye on things for us. Merv and Denise

The Manor is a happy place with excellent facilities and

we make good use of the gym and swimming pool. We

value the new friendships in our lives that have formed

since we moved in twelve months ago.

Cocktails, coriander, clogs and the Kilkee!You could say that it’s definitely

a case of the more the merrier

when it comes to social events,

get-togethers, interest groups and

outings such is the adventurous

spirit within the tight-knit community.

Whether it’s cocktails with live

music at the Residents’ Retreat,

‘Men’s drinks’ on Friday afternoons,

joining a new hobby group, or visiting

a destination in the community

bus, the social diary is always full

of fun options. Recently, more than

30 residents including newcomers

joined in the fun with a cruise around

the waterways of Sanctuary Cove

aboard the SS Kilkee, followed

by a magnificent seafood lunch at

the Marine Village. The residents

regularly head off to a new

destination for lunch or dinner,

sampling culinary delights from

around the globe. A group visit

to a famous Thai restaurant and

another to Teavine House to enjoy

sumptuous lunches was also on the

agenda lately. Perhaps one of the

most memorable events was ‘Dutch

Night’ which saw residents dressing

in Dutch costumes savouring classic

Dutch food, music and dancing at

the Residents’ Retreat.
