Retirement living operator Stockland is hosting its inaugural series of free “Men’s Health Day” events, as part of the National Men’s Health Week to help older men stay mentally and physically fit during retirement.
The events to be held at five of Stockland’s Melbourne retirement villages will include cooking demonstrations by Jamie’s Ministry of Food to teach retirees how to cook quick, easy and nutritious meals in their own home, lawn bowls master classes run by Bowls Australia instructors, a free morning tea and sausage sizzle lunch.
Stockland is committed to helping their residents and the wider community to live healthy, fulfilling retirements by supporting their physical and mental health according to Stockland Victoria Regional Sales Manager Andrew McLynskey. He added that supporting retirees’ physical and mental health ensures they maintain an independent lifestyle.
Stockland is expecting hundreds of men to attend and encourage attendees to bring partners family and friends to experience the villages’ inclusive communities.
