Scam Red Flags You Should Never Ignore
Scammers are sneaky but once you know what to look for, their tricks become much easier to spot. Here are a few common warning signs that something might not be legit:
- Pressure to act fast : “This offer expires today!” or “You must pay now or face consequences!”
- Requests for personal or banking info: No legitimate company will ask for passwords or PINs out of the blue.
- Strange payment methods: If you're asked to pay with gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers, it’s a major red flag.
Scams can happen to anyone, and they often sound convincing. Take a breath, slow down, and double-check before you share any information or send money.
Have you spotted any of these tactics before? Let’s share to protect others in our community.

Nelson Mandela once said, “It is in the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences.”
At Flower Foundation, we believe that every act of kindness, no matter how small, can blossom into something beautiful. On Mandela Day, we honour Madiba’s legacy with 67 minutes of giving, sharing, and connecting.
Whether it’s:
- Writing a heartfelt letter to a fellow resident
- Helping a neighbour with a task
- Sharing stories from the past that can inspire the future
Every moment of care counts.

Looking for your perfect retirement village? Start with a visit.
Research is key when it comes to finding the right retirement village and nothing beats walking the grounds yourself!
Here are some things to keep in mind on your journey:
- Is the location close to family, shops, or your favourite walking spot?
- What facilities and services are available (think hair salon, medical support, or weekly socials)?
- Most importantly, does the place feel like home?
Don’t be shy about asking questions during your visit:
– What’s included in the monthly cost?
– Are pets allowed?
– What happens if your care needs change?
And if you can, chat with a few residents. Their insights are golden and their stories might even make you feel like you already belong.
Your ideal retirement life is out there, you just have to go and find it!

Scammers are getting smarter and more convincing, often preying on trust, isolation, or a simple lack of digital know-how. Some of the most common scams affecting older adults this year include:
- Phone Scams: Calls claiming to be from banks, government departments, or even “grandchildren in trouble.”
- Email Phishing: Fake emails that look real, asking you to click a link or share personal details.
- Romance Scams on Social Media: Scammers build fake relationships to earn trust… then ask for money.
- Fake Tech Support: Pop-ups or calls warning about viruses, convincing you to give access to your computer.
These scams can happen to anyone. The best defence is awareness and taking time before acting.
Talk to your loved ones, especially older family members, about these scams. A simple conversation could protect them.
Have you or someone you know been approached by one of these scams? Share your experience to help others stay alert.

Decluttering? Start with just one drawer.
Moving into a retirement village often means downsizing and that can feel a little overwhelming at first. But here’s the trick: don’t start with the whole house, start with one drawer.
Pick a small space: a kitchen drawer, a side table, or a shelf, and give yourself permission to focus just there. It’s amazing how quickly momentum builds when you begin small.
Each item you sort is a step closer to the fresh, carefree lifestyle waiting for you.
You’re not losing things, you’re making room for your next adventure.
Have you started your downsizing journey yet? Share your favourite tip below!

Why Community Matters in Retirement: Retirement isn’t just about slowing down, it’s about finding where you belong. And at this stage of life, community becomes one of the most powerful gifts of all:
- Feeling connected boosts emotional well-being
- Shared laughter improves mental clarity
- Staying active and engaged supports physical health
The opposite? Loneliness can be just as harmful as chronic illness. That’s why living in a warm, welcoming environment where neighbours become friends can make all the difference.
At Flower Foundation Retirement Homes, we believe in the power of belonging whether it’s over a morning walk, a card game, or just a friendly chat on the bench.
Let your golden years be filled with connection.
