Residents Barbara, Theresa, Fay and Judith at Kathy’s home
Kathy is a local resident at Riverpoint who opened her house last month. All residents received a formal invite! She said, “For my 1st year milestone I invited all my Riverpoint Inn-Mates. Fifty of us made merry in my back garden. It was another sunny afternoon, where everybody had a great time, including me, even though it was a busy day.”
Healthy Active Ageing As a retiree, you want to live well after you have finished working; you should be able to spend your time how you want to. Our retirement living villas have been specially designed to help you enjoy your retirement.
Barbara
Our residents Barbara, Fay and Kathy are living proof it just takes one step to get up and motived to stay healthy, fit and active. Barbara has been challenging herself to get fit since the gym officially opened in 2013 and she now encourages everyone to give it a go. Then there’s Fay, who has overcome three heart bypasses, had both knees replaced and visits a physiologist weekly to be put through her paces! Her physiologist has her walking, stretching, doing weights and amazingly she completes 60 squats while holding a ball against the wall with her back! On top of this Fay walks most nights with “the girls” in the village for ½ hour and every day we see her in the gym in our community centre walking on the treadmill for 2 kilometres.
For someone like Kathy, reflection brings many memories and moments of joy. From her first kiss, job, and plane flight, to learning to ride a bike and so on. Kathy now spends three to four days a week at Riverpoint’s gym and has shed eight kilograms as a result. Her doctor is impressed with her health improvements and she says she has much more energy and is sleeping like a baby at night. It has also provided the incentive to go shopping for new clothes to match her new dress size!
But how many milestones have you personally looked back on and reflected your position in life? What about your own health and fitness?
All three ladies are a joy to have in and around Riverpoint Retirement Estate. They love living at Riverpoint and enjoy the company of the many friends they have made.

The Rosefield Cluster ride to Riverpoint
CEO Andrew Larpent (8th from left), with his cycling group "The Rosefield Cluster”
On Saturday 28th March, our CEO Andrew Larpent, along with his cycling group “The Rosefield Cluster”, joined Southern Cross Care’s Vice Chairman David Martin, Loretta Martin and other cyclists to ride from Parkside to the Riverpoint Retirement Estate in Noarlunga Downs to present our new residents with a welcoming ceremonial key. The Rosefield Cluster’s motto is to “have fun + get fitter + improve your well-being + see Adelaide”. And, as a retiree, you want to live well after you have finished working; you should be able to spend your time how you want. The Riverpoint retirement living villas have been specially designed to help people enjoy their retirement. It was a perfect fit!
Ashley and Judy opening Both Andrew and David spoke to the door to their new villa residents, welcoming them to their new homes including residents Ashley and Judy (pictured). They both spoke of the great vibe that has been cultivated at Riverpoint, evident with around 50 existing Riverpoint residents joining the welcoming festivities over morning tea.
Riverpoint offers great surroundings, a vibrant atmosphere, and a place to free yourself from worry, connect with the community and make the most of your life. It was a wonderful morning for everyone and we are sure Andrew was encouraging many to join his cycling group!
Southern Cross Care joins the Australian Masters Games team
Riverpoint Community Lunch As a retiree, you want to live well after you have finished working; you should be able to spend your time how you want to. Our Riverpoint retirement living villas have been specially designed to help you enjoy your retirement. So, why not invite the friends in for dinner? The above group were given the full treatment and had the main community hall sectioned off to enjoy a big luncheon privately. They said “Lunch for my friends on Sunday 5th April was set for 21 of us. The room was a delight with afternoon sun streaming in. We had a fabulous time.”
