ADVERTISING FEATURE
A secure, relaxed and comfortable lifestyle is the promise at Thornton Park, a retirement village within the Thornton Estate, North Penrith.
Developed by Southern Cross Care - a company with a 50-year history in the industry - it offers independent living alongside a residential aged care facility.
Southern Cross CEO Helen Emmerson said it offered retirement living "like no other".
"You come to Thornton Park to continue to learn, to create, to laugh and importantly to live," she said.
"Imagine no longer having to devote time to maintaining a family home, mowing lawns or worrying about home practicalities," the website states.
"With all that taken care of, you have complete peace of mind and are free to focus on what really matters.
"Not only will you secure the relaxed, comfortable lifestyle you promised yourself, you'll be part of a vibrant community of like-minded people.
"Thornton Park is about freedom and space to choose the lifestyle that's perfect for you.
"It's your opportunity to be spontaneous, perhaps rediscover a passion, or simply strike up new friendships."
Ms Emmerson said Thornton Park was not segregated like other traditional retirement villages and offered a chance to downsize your home maintenance and live within a beautiful retirement community with the assurance of care, if and when, you need it.
