"Caring and lovely stuff"

Pros

The staff at Nelson Summerset in the sun could not have been more caring understanding supportive to my family who for a short time looked after both my mother and father. We could not praise some more. We know through the short time we were there this is the Kia and love they give to all residents in their loving hands.

Poor introduction to village life

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

The move into a retirement village is traumatic for many, especially those who are now widowed, elderly and set in their ways. They begin a whole new way of life. I would suggest that their accommodation is completely ready for their arrival on the set date and adjustment to village life is made as easy as possible. The villas are warm and comfortable but some items are impractical, eg shelves in the wardrobe are too high to reach and some kitchen cupboards are deep, low and narrow. Newcomers are visited by a staff member and given a pretentious gift and book of instructions when what they need is someone to show them the basics of their new life, perhaps spread over that first week. Some need to know how to manage "modern" taps, use the fob and sensor, open their garage, find localities like the compost bin, the gym (and how to work the equipment), how to sign up for activities, how to understand the cafe/meal order system, how to sort the rubbish/recycling system, how to work their oven etc...Perhaps local residents could connect them to others with the same interest and they could in turn welcome them to that group? I am fortunate in that I have friends here who have included and encouraged me. Otherwise I would be feeling isolated and frustrated at having to work so many things out for myself.
