I enjoy living in my apartment but feel too much is routine and needs spicing up.

Unfortunately you only find out the bad things after you move in. Had I known more, I would possibly not moved in.

Activities Lacking and Repetitious

Village management (eds.) needs to manage not nurse, [in my opinion] activities are boring and repetitive (eds.), [in my opinion] both are past their use by date. (eds.)

Stop treating residents like children by talking down to us -such as the rubbish put in the weekly paper. The majority of us have held high positions prior to retiring otherwise we would not have been able to afford to come to the Village. EDIT (Summerset is certainly able to reduce costs. It is still building Villages in NZ and now are buying land in Melbourne to build another.)
