They say they couldn’t be happier with their decision to move.
Oak Tree Group specialises in providing affordable, stylish and secure independent living communities for seniors.
With three villages expanding across the New England region, Oak Tree now offers retirement living options in Armidale, Tamworth and Gunnedah.
Relocating from a large house with a big garden and a pool, Mr and Mrs Fittler were able to use the equity in their family home to fund the purchase of their retirement villa at Oak Tree.
They now consider themselves fortunate to be rid of the commitment that comes with owning such a big property that was expensive to maintain.
“We now have money left over from the sale of our home in the bank and a smaller, more manageable home allowing us to enjoy more social and financial freedoms,” Mr and Mrs Fittler said.
“We are doing less housework to maintain our home and don’t need to take care of the lawns and gardens any longer. We can also leave the management of general repairs and home maintenance to the Village staff.
“To others considering their retirement lifestyle we would say – make the decision while you are able to enjoy the move, new friends, new home and new activities. Don’t leave it until it’s too late.”
