Moving to a retirement village can open the door to a new stage of your life that’s rich in opportunity. However, if you have pets, you may be concerned what this means for them and wondering, can you have pets in retirement villages?

Naturally, you want to share this journey with your beloved furry friend and at Ryman, you’re welcome to bring your pet if they are suitable. 

When considering retirement living and care options for yourself or a loved one, the right choice will depend on your individual needs and level of independence. The best option for you depends on how much clinical and day-to-day support you require, now and into the future. 

At Ryman, we offer a range of living and care options, from independent living to assisted living in serviced apartments, as well as residential aged care, and dementia-level care.

Ryman resident Suellen loves Christmas and the joy of having family close by. To make the holiday season easier, she shares her favourite tips and hacks. From decorating with lights and faux snow to prepping meals ahead of time and using reusable gift bags, Suellen’s ideas help bring festive cheer without the stress. Whether you're looking for budget-friendly options or simple ways to enhance your celebrations, these tips will make your Christmas brighter and more enjoyable.

Assisted living is an increasingly popular choice for older adults who want to stay independent while enjoying a little extra support with everyday tasks like housework, home maintenance, and meal preparation.

It’s a way to age in place longer without sacrificing comfort or autonomy, but not everyone is aware of exactly what assisted living is, and how it differs from other options such as a care home. 

Few things in life are as enriching as the novelty of travel or the camaraderie among friends. At one of our Ryman villages, a group of travel enthusiasts have combined the two, to create the perfect blend of friendship and adventure. 

It all began with a group of residents living in the village who liked to attend the theatre. The theatre trips then evolved into long lunches and winery tours before expanding into adventurous group holidays.
