The Ideal Odyssey for Seniors

WORDS: Phil Usher -Odyssey CEO and Founder PHOTOGRAPHY Supplied

Your perfect lifestyle is waiting

‘Why did I wait so long?’ The one question most seniors ask. We anticipate hearing the words. ‘Why did I wait so long?’ from seniors who have recently transitioned into our Lifestyle Care Community, as it signifies their contentment with their choice and newfound lifestyle. Yet, there is a simple and effective method of ensuring seniors do indeed ask this question as well as helping them overcome the apprehension often associated with entering care environments.

Odyssey Lifestyle Care Communities is challenging the misconceptions about the industry and shares that a proactive approach to researching options is a game-changer for seniors.

Odyssey CEO and founder Phil Usher says it’s important that people approach retirement and care environments with confidence and explore tailored options for themselves or their aging loved ones.

“When it comes to decisions about retirement and care, it’s essential for seniors to find a community that aligns with their individual preferences and needs,” says Mr Usher.

“More often than not, seniors are afraid to look at what’s out there, but it’s important to remember that in recent years the market has vastly improved, and with research and careful consideration it can be an extremely positive experience. This approach not only dispels fears and misconceptions but empowers individuals to make informed decisions that improve their lifestyle and wellbeing.”

Mr Usher says that as a community that prioritises the well-being of seniors, Odyssey encourages individuals and their families to take an active role in researching and understanding what is available.

“It is very apparent when someone has been proactive when seeking retirement and care options, we often see a significant and swift attitude change once that person has made the move,” says Mr Usher.

“Phrases such as ‘Why did I wait so long?’ and “I should have done this sooner’ are very common and the initial fear and hesitancy evaporates. When navigating the journey towards senior living, it’s essential to embrace the wealth of options and information available to either yourself or your senior loved ones.”

Mr Usher says for seniors or families who don’t know where to start, Odyssey is available to help with a complimentary and obligation-free service. “Our Aged Care Assist service is free and provides balanced and unbiased advice that helps you or your senior loved one achieve the best outcome for their situation,” says Mr Usher.

“Whether that is a recommendation to move to Odyssey or otherwise, we are here to help you and your family gain clarity in what can be a confusing industry.”

Odyssey is located at Robina on the corner of Scottsdale Drive and The Crestway and currently has another development underway at Chevron Island.

The Odyssey model is built around a resort-style environment where couples stay together, pets are welcome, grandkids can have sleepovers and most importantly, the dignity, independence and well-being of residents are highly respected.
