“‘We lived in Kiama for over 15 years. Big house, big, you know, lots of stairs, big garden, three levels. It was just getting too much. This one took a swan dive and fell down the stairs, ending up in the trauma ward at St. George Hospital. So I thought, right, now's the time to look around and take the plunge, and here we are, a month in, we are the newbies on the block but I'm loving it.
Now we've got no stairs and the gardeners do all the gardens. We were out on the deck the other day and here were the gardeners sort of doing the hedging, and were looking at them thinking, yes, it's not us, it was such a good feeling!
We needed to make life easier for ourselves. We needed to stop and smell the roses… that we don’t have to look after” ~ McKay

“I think everybody whether you’ve met them or not, everyone says good morning, they wave from their car and they’re friendly and it’s quiet and peaceful.
You can do as much as you want to do here, or as little as you like. There’s various clubs down here, book club, music club, snooker, swimming pool, library. The Broughton Club here is really very comfortable and relaxing and you can just do what you want.
The security is very good here too, the gated community is very relaxed and I know from the information I received there’s been no problem here in probably the last 10 years and that makes you feel quite relaxed and comfortable.” ~ Sewell

Meet Marilyn and Uta, a friendship forged though volunteering their time planning and coordinating the social engagement at The Grange.
“Having moved from my own home to The Grange has meant a relief from the ongoing maintenance of a home and the companionship of like-minded people if and when I feel like company. By volunteering to coordinate the social aspects of The Grange has meant I’ve come to know the more active members of the community and we enjoy some good times together with exercise, morning teas, lunch outings and other outside adventures. A good move for me.” ~ Marilyn

"Peter and I chose The Grange at Berry because it is so beautiful. We love everything about the place, the people, the staff and the surrounds. Everything is just perfect for our needs.” ~ Elke

“I walked through the grounds of the Grange many years ago and always thought I would like to live here, it is amazing that, that dream has come true. The buildings, the walkways are just beautiful, I just love everything about the place. One added advantage that I also love is the security and the fact that the property is gated at night. I love the Community spirit and the welcoming friendly attitude.” ~ Monique
