Like all retirement homes Arvida has trouble recruiting nursing staff. The Govt needs to increase wages for nurses.

Feedback for Arvida Mayfair Retirement Village
4 / 5 ★
To be honest I do not attend many of the entertainment options. Arvida has the Good Fiends centre on Whitleigh Ave, this has a gym and pool, these are free for me, part of living in an Arvida village. I also do all my own meals.

The apartment block at Mayfair is currently being upgraded & updated so it is difficult to give a true assessment.

As I am independent, I do not partake in any of the activities. We lost our free gym membership with this buy-out.
