Imagine being in your new home...
Where there's always someone to talk to....
Where the food is home cooked in front of you and full of natural goodness....
Where there are plenty of outdoor areas for walking, gardening or just sitting and relaxing in the sun....
Where you choose what activities you would like to participate in on a daily basis....
Where family living is a way of life, not just a saying....
Where you can wake to the sounds of birds singing and the smell of the bush, but be only minutes from the city centre....
Well dont imagine, come and see Glendale for yourself.
