A major transformation has been revealed at one of Southeast’s longest-established beachside retirement living communities, with residents actively involved in shaping the design of its revitalised lifestyle amenities.
Just in time for Aveo Concierge Bayside’s 25th anniversary, the vibrant community’s renovation has been unveiled, featuring a light, bright and elegant Hamptons-style theme throughout the communal areas, including the café, dining rooms, library, games and activity zones, gymnasium, wellness centre, piano lounge and cinema.
From choosing carpets and paint colours to furniture and even cushions, Aveo invited residents to take part in key design decisions to ensure the spaces truly reflected the retirees who call it home.
Resident Judy Wilson has lived at the Hampton East community for more than 10 years after moving from Mount Eliza, drawn to Concierge Bayside’s sought-after location and proximity to high-end retailers.
“Everything is so convenient here with the beach and shops so close. When I first moved to Concierge Bayside, I was attracted to its charm and warm atmosphere, and now it’s been taken to the next level with a whole new modern and sophisticated look,” Judy said.
“It was great fun to be included in the renovation decisions and have our voices heard – the team at Aveo were insistent that we have a say, which was appreciated by everyone here.
“Now, as we walk through the beautifully renovated areas, we take great pride in the community and really feel valued as residents.”
The fresh new look at Concierge Bayside forms part of Aveo’s commitment to invest in significant capital upgrades across its Victorian retirement communities.
Community Manager Janelle Clark said the renovations have been a welcome transformation, enhancing comfort and connection for its close-knit residents.
“We have come so far since first opening our doors in 2000, and these upgrades have really brought new life into the community,” Janelle said.
“It’s wonderful to see how proud residents are of the end result and see their faces light up as they enjoy the new and improved spaces with their neighbours, friends and family – the increasing buzz at afternoon tea each day is testament to that.
“For Concierge Bayside’s 25th birthday, we are hosting a big party in our beautiful rose gardens. We can’t wait to welcome residents and their families into the revitalised spaces so they can see our fresh new look for themselves, which really reflects the energy and optimism of our residents.”
