Several years ago I purchased a Rosebank Villa, this proved to be a wise decision. It was meant to be. My life became a lot easier, as I enjoy living amongst so many friends. Independent but they are there if required. There is also lawn mowing done for me, outside of windows cleaned, small maintenance jobs and lots of activities. Cards are another pleasant activity. That is not to forget the bus rides to many places for lunch – Staveley, Woodbury, Leeston, Hororata, Lincoln and lots of others. Sometimes we patronize the Ashburton lunch venues. As well we have the Happy Hour on Friday evenings, a good chance to catch up with the other residents.
