Here is your Seniors’ living guide to some of the best aged care facilities and services across the Hunter Region. You can also check out this Seniors Feature from page 15 in our 4 June edition.
Acorn Stairlifts
Acorn Stairlifts has been giving people who struggle with stairs freedom and independence, nationally and internationally, for more than 25 years.
The stairlifts are ideal for people with a disability, people who have suffered strokes or seniors with decreased mobility.
With a stairlift, whoever has an issue is not restricted to one level of their home and can, most importantly, get up and down their stairs safely.

Central Village Newcastle
It’s warm and sunny at Central Village. When the winter chills set in, the benefits of a solar passive design become obvious.
Living in an older home generally means you are putting up with high heating bills due to poor insulation and drafts. There is a better way at Central Village in Mayfield.
All the homes at Central Village Mayfield feature large north-facing windows, allowing the sun to warm you. Our homes are fully insulated and also feature reverse cycle air conditioners, ceiling fans and natural gas.
In addition to being warm and cosy, your new home has smeg appliances, stone bench tops, a sunny deck, high ceilings and great neighbours.
Find out what upsizing your lifestyle really means. Call Peter on 0419 449 649.

Focus Retirement Services
“Daunting, stressful, time consuming, frustrating, worried I’m going to miss something or get it wrong.”
These are all comments my clients use to describe their experiences in attempting to apply for the Age Pension with Centrelink. With the drive to have everyone apply online, I believed there should be a service that provided the face-to-face assistance to go through this complex process. The clients that we have assisted through the process have been very happy with the outcomes.
Our process starts with a complimentary appointment to have a chat about your individual needs. Please contact us or come along to our upcoming seminars to find out more.

Hunter Valley Care
Hunter Valley Care aged care communities have come up with all sorts of innovative ways families and friends can stay in contact whilst in isolation: through-the-window visits on speaker phones, Facebook messages, video calls and old-fashioned letters, to name a few.
In-house, our residents have enjoyed theme days, high-teas, live-streamed concerts, window visits, paint-and-sip, YouTube armchair travel, pottery, bake-offs and more – all to keep our spirits up.
And, though we can’t get out for lunch, we don’t have to miss out. Pop-up restaurants and cafes have been…well, popping up all over our facilities, offering amazing food, great views and fantastic company. Isolation is not so bad when we’re together!
