over 50's lifestyle resort

Work starts on second Country Club at Seachange Toowoomba

by

A significant milestone will be reached in the coming month at Seachange Toowoomba with work starting on construction of the second Country Club.  This milestone will see Seachange become the first over 50s resort in Toowoomba to include not just one spectacular Country Club, but two.

The first; The Summer House was completed in November 2018 and is already being enjoyed by home owners as a relaxed spaces for residents to catch up with family and friends. This architectural master piece offers relaxed spaces for residents to catch up with family and friends. An extensive lounge and games room flows out to a BBQ pavilion and fire pit that overlooks the heated swimming pool and tennis court.

The aesthetics of the building draw inspiration from Hamptons styling, which was apt given both the location on Hampton Street and also the desire to create a relaxed, elegant and iconic building.  The craftsmanship and quality of this facility was recognised recently upon winning the Master Builders Award for best Community Facility up to $5million.

Some key Hampton’s features that have been incorporated include the use of timber paneling, high pitched ceilings with exposed timber beams, timber floors, neutral and ocean inspired colours, natural materials and an abundance of light.

The second Country Club, affectionately referred to as the big brother to the Summer House is located in the premium position on the site at the end of our Main Boulevard overlooking Adams Park.  The Country Club continues the Hamptons theme seen in the Summer House, but is a more formal in its finish and feel.

Stepping through the entry of the Country Club you will feel like you are entering a private members club.  The facility has been designed to be an extension of every resident’s living room and a built expression of our mind, body and soul philosophy.

To nourish the mind we incorporated a cinema, arts and craft studio and workshop so that our residents can continue to develop their life skills and hobbies. To nourish the body we incorporated the best sporting facilities – including a heated indoor pool, gym and bowling green – so our residents can keep fit and fabulous.  To nourish the soul we have designed beautiful community spaces for friends to meet and groups to gather – meeting rooms and a dining room with stage and a dance floor.

With the 2 facilities combined home owners at Seachange Toowoomba will enjoy an unparalleled lifestyle with everything amenity imaginable right on their door step.

Turn Social Isolation into Social Inclusion at a Lifestyle Resort in Emerald Lakes

by

One of the reasons we believe we are the best lifestyle resort on the Gold Coast is because of how friendly every one of our residents is to each other here. We built Seachange Emerald Lakes on the principles of ‘nourish your mind, body and soul’. So far, we have been a smashing success.

Numerous studies have shown the benefits of social inclusion and interaction for those over 50s. To make a long story short, being socially engaged every day helps you have a longer, happier life. The other side of the coin is social isolation, which you want to avoid at all costs.

According to Professor Andrew Beer, Director for the Centre for Housing, Urban and Regional Planning,“social isolation is equivalent to the health effects of smoking 15 cigarettes a day or consuming more than six alcoholic drinks daily.”

Professor Beer cited research estimating that more than one out of five older Australians could be classified as “socially isolated.” This can cause effects such as depression, insomnia and a higher rate of health problems such as high blood pressure and other conditions that seem to beset seniors.

Active Adult Living in Emerald Lakes

We won’t delve any deeper into the statistics. We all know them for what they are. Fortunately, you can choose right now to put yourself onto a path of having a happy, healthy life if you aren’t there already.

Social Inclusion

One of the best ways to do that, if you are over 50, is to join a growing legion of happy seniors here at Seachange Emerald Lakes. We offer so many opportunities for social interaction that you would really have to make a serious effort not to interact on a daily basis.

First of all, everyone here is a lot like you. They are over 50s who wanted an active, friendly community in which they can socialise and exercise with like-minded people. The result is a close-knit community where everyone knows each other; new people are welcomed enthusiastically and warmly.

Getting Quality Sleep When You’re Over 50

by

In an over 50s lifestyle resort such as Seachange Emerald Lakes, a lot of people may not realise it, but sleep is important. We have a community of friendly, active seniors who get the most out of their days and nights. It is important to get high quality sleep every night so that you can enjoy all that our lifestyle has to offer.

Most people need from 7-9 hours of sleep every night to function at their optimum level. While many scientists say seniors don’t need as much sleep as younger people. we know everyone is different and some people need that extra hour or two of sleep that others don’t.

Here are some tips for getting high quality sleep and waking up full of energy.

Consistent Bedtime and Rise & Shine

We know it doesn’t always work out that way, but you should try to get to bed and wake up at the same time every night and day. This habit will keep you healthy in so many ways.

Stop Stimulants Early

Try to have your last cuppa in the middle of the afternoon. Try not to eat sugar late, either. If you have stimulants late in the day, they can still affect you when you are trying to sleep.

Prime the Sleep Pump

Try preparing for sleep an hour before bedtime. This can become a routine. Turn off the TV, computer and mobile devices. Draw a nice warm bath. Put on some soothing music. Or, you may do as many have for years: curl up with a nice book before bed.

Don’t Fall Asleep on Your Couch

If you are going to take a nap, take it in your bed. Don’t fall asleep on your couch. You want to teach your body that your bed is a sleep cue.

Don’t Eat Before Bed

Leave an hour or two before bed for your stomach to empty. Food prepares your body for activity: that is the last thing you want when you are trying to fall asleep.

Sleep and Intimacy Only

Don’t use your bed for anything but sleep and intimacy. This will train your body to fall asleep when you lay down. If you want to lay down with a book or while watching TV, do it on your couch. And don’t fall asleep there.

You Deserve a Seachange

by

If you have reached the age where an active over 50’s lifestyle resort sounds good, you may want to join a growing group of baby boomers who are enjoying life at Seachange Village Arundel.

We have gone to a lot of work to Queensland’s most awarded over 50’s lifestyle resort, which seems more like a resort than retirement living. So, how did we decide to make Seachange Village Arundel different to a typical retirement village? The short answer: because we believe you should love the way you live.

The Research

We decided that we didn’t want to use the traditional retirement village model. We decided that we would have an active over 50’s lifestyle community that was a 5- star resort with homes built within it. We wanted a place where people over the age of 50 could choose to live the lifestyle they deserve, whether they have retired or not. Ultimately, that is what separates Seachange Village Arundel from a typical retirement village: why wait to love the way you live?

In the next 25 years, the percentage of Australians in the 55-75 age group will double, eventually reaching a count of 5.3 million. In other words, over 50s communities will be in very high demand, so we decided to something a little different.

The Results

At Seachange Village Arundel, we have built a lifestyle resort where active adults over 50 can start living their preferred lifestyle right now. Whether retired or not, you will be able to enjoy active adult living with your peers at Seachange Village Arundel.

Using the great examples we found in the US, particularly Florida, Seachange Village Arundel is a true lifestyle resort with a calendar full of activities and opportunities for our residents to engage with life to their utmost.

Let us take care of the gardens, pools and facilities for you while you enjoy the fruits of your labours at Seachange Village Arundel.
