Wellbeing

Home improvements

For the past five years, Lendlease Retirement Living’s Renewal Program has been turning dreams into reality – breathing a new lease of life into many of its community facilities and living areas.

Get smart in your home

From automated blinds to a coffee machine that’s set to make your favourite cup as soon as you wake up, the smart home of the future is here — and it's not just for the younger crowd, promise.

21st century grandparents

They’re the light of your life. The apples of your eye. The veritable angels you can spoil rotten with love and lollies before packing them back to their parents. But after a while, a few hours of babysitting becomes a few more hours – then a two-day-a-week obligation. And while the initial excitement of caring for the grandkids is a beautiful thing, once ‘Nanna’ begins to feel like the nanny and play starts to feel like work, being a grandparent can quickly lose its sheen (much as you dote on your offspring’s offspring.)

The unexpected benefits of volunteering

Reduced stress, bonding time with the grandkids, creating meaningful connections and oftentimes a friendly cup of tea, are only a few of the benefits of volunteering within your village and community.
