A RECORD number of new residents have started 2023 by moving into their recently completed apartments in the welcoming retirement living community at Aveo Springfield.
Community Manager Chelsea Follett said several residents had acted on their resolutions to downsize from their family homes to a arefree, relaxed lifestyle in the heart of Springfield.
The village’s second stage opened in October and a record number of residents have already moved in.
“Our new residents are starting the year afresh by immersing themselves in the village’s lifestyle and already creating lovely friendships with their neighbours,’’ Chelsea said.
“Many of our residents moved to Aveo Springfield to be closer to their families who live in the area. The lifestyle here is just wonderful, it’s friendly, safe and relaxed.’’
Jan Burchardt moved into her new two-bedroom apartment at Aveo Springfield in January and is glad she did.
“I had been doing the mowing, whipper snipping and hedging myself at home but it all got too hard. It was time to move on and I’d been planning this move for a while,’’ Jan said.
“From my initial dealings with the sales consultant and touring the apartment, I felt quite certain that I was making the right decision.
“I have been warmly welcomed by the staff and other residents. The facilities, including the indoor pool are excellent, and all the various activities are easily accessible.
“I told my son that I’d found my forever home and I’m so happy here.’’
Aveo Springfield is a vibrant, modern retirement village set amongst landscaped gardens within the award-winning Greater Springfield community.
Residents have the option of independent living or serviced apartments with 24-hour care and support available.

An on-site chef prepares delicious, fresh meals for residents of the serviced apartments while independent living residents can also enjoy meals in the restaurant or takeaway.
“It’s all about convenience and enjoying a lifestyle free of responsibilities being surrounded by friendly neighbours and supportive staff, and thriving with a busy social calendar where you are welcome to be as active or as private as you wish,’’ Chelsea said.
“Our residents are never be bored or short of something to do. There’s always someone willing to join you for a billiards game, challenge you at cards, have a coffee and chat or share a wine at happy hour. I always say every hour is happy hour at Springfield!
“Everyone is just having fun and enjoying the best time of their lives.’’
For active residents there are exercise classes including aqua aerobics, tai chi, pilates and walking groups.
