Ralph & Elaine say… Thanks to you and all your team for taking care of us and keeping us all safe we all appreciate your planning and care.
Hello and congratulations… Your efforts with the [Virtual Village & Wellbeing Hub]. In particular the (weekly) puzzle pack and daily online quiz….They are a fantastic innovation and something that enhances the Metlifecare experience.
Please pass this onto Glen and co upstairs.
It has been a busy and enjoyable eighteen months at Metlifecare’s The Poynton for resident John Thompson, who says the best things about life at the retirement village are the activities and the people.
A prime location
John, 83, lived on a lifestyle block in Coatesville for 15 years. In October 2017, he moved into his two-bedroom apartment at The Poynton, where he feels right at home.
I was attracted by its location. It’s close to Milford Beach, Takapuna and all the attractions that are around this area. Plus, the beautiful big bus stop just alongside it is a real asset,” says John.
Lois & Owen Jone say…Well done. The Staff here at Forest Lake have been magnificent and are going beyond the call of duty. They are the greatest.
Regards
Pru Giles is coming up to her 10th anniversary at The Poynton this August, Pru Giles reflects on a happy decade spent at the retirement village and her many special memories with residents, family and friends.
A great move
Pru, 73, is one of The Poynton Pioneers, the first group of 20 residents who moved into the village after it opened its doors in August 2009. This year, she celebrates a decade in her three-bedroom apartment.
My very dear and much loved Mum lost her husband and our step Dad of 47 years, days prior to Cov19 pandemic lockdown. We were unable to get together to grieve properly with our Mum. She also lost her youngest sister to cancer very close to this time. It was a wretched month.
Mum decided it was time to change her living situation by selling her home and moving into a retirement facility closer to our family. Mum told me that Elizabeth at Bayswater was wonderful supplying her with all the information and picture links and physical plans for an apartment that could be hers.
