Get your mind and body moving and you'll benefit!
Alzheimer’s Australia Chief Executive Carol Bennett is concerned that according to a paper recently released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), more than half of the Australian population is inactive, which can increase their risk of developing dementia.
Kensington Gardens residents in our Over 55s Albury and Shepparton retirement villages enjoy regular use of our gym and indoor swimming pool facilities as well as a wide range of other indoor and outdoor activities with the catch cry of: “use it, don’t lose it!”
Ms Bennett said in a recent article published in DPS News, “Research has found that about 13% of Alzheimer’s disease cases worldwide are attributable to physical inactivity.”

“Strategies suggested in the Your Brain Matters program, such as maximising your brain health and managing your blood sugar, cholesterol levels and blood pressure, have been proven to reduce the risk of developing some of the world’s most devastating chronic diseases, including dementia.”
Visit our retirement villages for yourself
Not surprisingly, most people who don’t want to move into a retirement community are those who’ve never actually visited one... at least not one like Kensington Gardens!
Retirement living has come such a long way in recent years. Our community is built for active retirees, people who want to enjoy every moment, join in fun activities with like-minded friends, learn new skills and take off on adventures!
We invite you to come for a visit and see for yourself whether our Albury or Shepparton retirement communities are a good fit for you.
If you’re thinking of joining our community, we’d love to meet you. Secure your place at our Information Sessions by calling us at Albury on 02 6049 3100 or Shepparton on 03 5820 5100, or get in touch with the contact form here.
