Bob was grateful to find Wintringham after he had issues with food quality and unsustainable rent increases.

“When I first arrived at Wintringham there were about three or four people already living here, and it was excellent! Everybody is lovely. The building structure is good – there are no problems whatsoever,” said Bob.

"You can’t get better staff - they’re like family. They show me respect and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better mob. They’re really great and they have made me feel very welcome. It’s very easy to live here. We have a great chef too. The food is excellent, I think I’ve put on 5kg since I’ve been here!"

"My room is tremendous and I’m still working out where to put things. I’ve got photos to put up. It’s like a little home. It’s always cozy. I can’t stand the cold, but it’s always the right temperature inside. It’s also easy to get around, and I have my scooter. They always know if I’m home because the scooter is out the front. And I get out on that almost every day, I don’t like to be stuck inside. I love living here!”
