Having lived in West Auckland all her life, Bupa Glenburn Retirement Village resident Jean says her transition to retirement village living was as simple as “moving a couple of streets up”. With a long-established knowledge of the local area, Jean says Bupa Glenburn was a natural choice for her, buoyed by its excellent facilities and welcoming community.
It wasn’t simply the location that swayed Jean to make the move to retirement village living; another key factor in her decision was the peace of mind knowing her home maintenance would be taken care of, with “no need to hire a handyman!”.
“My unit needed work, my mother had passed away and my brothers were living out of Auckland,” says Jean. “I needed company, and to feel safe. I’ve made many new friends at Glenburn, one of whom I walk with each morning for six kilometres, accompanied by Molly the dog.”
