Air Date: 24th March 2024

Chrissy tries an early retirement and settles into a comfy stay with St Ives.

• Chrissy travels to St Ives, a holiday-like community village, and showcases the difference between the St Ives community and a typical nursing home/aged care facility.
• St Ives strives to offer a relaxing lifestyle, with the welcoming atmosphere of a country town and beaches and bushland on your doorstep.
• St Ives boasts amenities such as a fully serviced clubhouse, an indoor heated swimming pool, a bowling green, and a veggie garden, among other things that make it stand out from other community villages.
• St Ives feels more like a holiday destination that you wouldn’t want to leave in comparison to other community villages; it is located in Albany, which is renowned for its magnificent scenery, thriving arts community, and standing as one of the state's top tourist destinations due to attractions like its blowholes, the gap, and its rich history of food.
• The closest supermarket being just five minutes away from the town center and being part of a community, St Ives offers Chrissy the opportunity to interview one of its residents, who demonstrates how St Ives was built with the vision of fostering communal activities such as croquet, a heated pool, and lawn bowling.
• Chrissy experiences these activities firsthand and conducts an interview with a resident, also taking a tour of their housing facilities, which offer ample storage for those who prefer not to part with too many belongings.
