Retirement is a new adventure, not just a change.

At BlueCare, we love seeing how our residents embrace this chapter of their lives, making the most of every day.

For Neville, retirement at Fraser Shores has been full of friendships, community, and plenty of moments with his loyal four-legged companion, Freddie. Whether it's exercise classes, afternoon catch-ups at the bar, or Freddie catching a ride on a neighbour’s scooter, life at Fraser Shores is never dull.

Neville’s story, like so many others, proves that retirement is what you make it. We hope you enjoy watching Neville and Freddie's story as much as we did capturing it.
