Living Life in the Village

Take a look at the ‘Living the Life’ video and some interviews with residents below for an insight into daily life at a Centennial Living village. 

Hear from our Residents

Meet Sophie, a lovely resident of Burnside Retirement Village for over two years.
When health concerns led her to seek additional support, she opted for a serviced apartment. What she enjoys the most about living in a serviced apartment are the chef-prepared meals! With a background in sales, admin, and waitressing, Sophie knows the importance of having a good people around.

She’s all about that community life, finding comfort in the connections that become even more crucial as time goes on. Her week is packed with exciting activities like aerobics, lawn bowling, indoor bowling, gardening, puzzles, and game days. What she looks forward to the most are the upcoming dinner dances at the village. 

Here’s to Sophie, adding a touch of warmth, laughter, and genuine connection to our community every day!

Resident Testimonies

Our residents are more than happy to share their experiences living in the village, and how it changed their lives for the better!

We sold our family home once all the kids had moved out. The Village was the right size for us and we were able to put the savings towards a cruise to celebrate our anniversary.
Jane & Russel
“We love living at Keilor. Very unsure at first. Extremely sad at leaving our home at Keilor Park after 53 years. I cried many tears. Now I wonder why, because we love it here. Maybe the best thing we ever did.”
Bobbie
“As power of attorney for my father after he had a stroke I had to organise upgrading of his care at Burnside Retirement Village. My dealings with Centennial Living in the sale of his previous unit to his new serviced apartment was thoroughly professional. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Centennial Living to any prospective purchasers.”
Steve
We came in, in 1997 and I had my 70th birthday in the village. I’ve been lucky enough now to be in the apartments, I’ll be 95 this year and it’s been a fantastic journey
Olive
From the day I’ve moved in I’ve loved it. But I loved my house and I loved my garden and didn’t want to leave, we came up to the village and had a look and from the day I’ve moved in I’ve really loved the life here
Mary
Prior to my parents decision to move into a retirement village, I had expressed my preference to remain in their own home. Looking back on my parents experience at Cameron Close, I now realise how wrong I was. Their time in Cameron Close has been filled with so many happy experiences and memories.
