First Resident Management Meeting Takes Place
September 18, 2019
Wednesday 11 September 2019
It is important when running a registered retirement village that you constantly review, understand and adhere to the guidelines set out in the Retirement Villages Act 1999 (NSW) and the Retirement Villages Regulation 2017 (NSW). As part of our commitment to our residents it was important, we held our first management meeting with our new stage 1 residents. It gave management an opportunity to present the financial budget and openly discuss the day to day running of the village with residents. On Wednesday of last week we enjoyed a round table discussion that reinforced what special people call Elements home and what an enjoyable working relationship we all share. After the meeting we all enjoyed lunch together at Indulge, another benefit to living so close to Toronto Workers Club where beautiful food is readily available.
Residents have been looking forward to the arrive of their community centre with great anticipation.
Last month seen our 10 new homes finalised and ready for move in as apart of our Stage 3 development here at Elements of Toronto. Our Toronto Golf Club staff completed the landscaping which we think looks absolutely fabulous and can not thank them enough for. . The Residents in Stage 3 have now completed their first month in their new homes and so far, no complaints - which is always nice! We have furnished Unit 28 (still available to purchase). Mode Styling was hired to complete a full furnish to show what a completed home could look like. As we know from our own personal experiences, looking into a blank home can be hard to picture what you will put where. Feel free to pop in and see us in the Toronto Workers Club Reception to take a walk through Unit 28 and also our 5 available homes.
July 2020 shows 10 units added to our Village. Within these 10 homes, we have started to welcome the new Residents this week. Our first Residents have collect their keys and are settling in well. Be quick as we have limited number of two bedroom homes available in this Stage.
Our new benches offer not just a nice place to sit. Did you know that sitting under a tree according to health experts provides us with a boost to our well-being? Many studies have been carried out to examine how spending time outdoors has an overall positive effect on our health and well-being. The recent installation of our beautiful benches positioned directly under large canopy trees have been designed to inspire our residents to spend time outdoors. Our research led to some interesting facts about time outdoors. When we spend time sitting under a tree we breathe in the chemicals trees release that can boost our immune system. These special naturally occurring chemicals boost the body’s production of a specific white blood cell that helps fight off viruses. Tree gazing also lowers blood pressure and can boost our moods. As our community garden is at last finished and our new benches installed we hope these outdoor facilities will inspire our residents to enjoy the benefits of time outside with nature.
