  • Understanding anxiety in older adults

    While it's normal for everyone to worry from time to time, persistent anxiety can significantly affect your physical and emotional wellbeing. Some of the stressors that trigger anxiety in older adults are commonly related to ageing, such as: 

    • health issues, 
    • retirement, and 
    • the loss of loved ones. 

    Recognising the signs and understanding what is causing your anxiety is important, as it enables you to find the right support to overcome it.

  • How to stop post-retirement depression

    Retirement is often seen as a time to unwind, travel, and enjoy greater freedom. While many Australians look forward to life after work, for some, it can bring unexpected emotional challenges. Instead of feeling excited, you might experience a sense of loss, sadness, or uncertainty about what comes next. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many people feel a dip in mood or even signs of depression after retiring.

  • Brian's blueprint for an epic retirement

    Living an epic retirement means continuing to do what you love, regardless of age.

    Ryman resident Brian embodies this philosophy every day.

    After moving into Raelene Boyle Village with his wife Karlene in 2022, Brian quickly discovered where he would spend much of his spare time — the workshop.

  • A very special kind of person

    When Weary Dunlop resident Bill Hearn retired at 60, he knew he would miss his work colleagues most of all.

    Throughout his 40-year career at Australia Post, Bill built lifelong friendships and achieved some monumental things.

    As he reflects on the challenges he faced stepping back from his career, he credits these fond memories with energising and propelling him into his ‘third age’ of life.
