Residents share burden of explaining ongoing costs in a retirement village in new video

Explaining the costs of living in a retirement village can often be one of the banes of life for a retirement village manager.

The Retirement Village Residents Association of NSW (RVRA), a volunteer organisation that represents and supports residents of NSW retirement villages, is aware.

It is publishing a series of informative videos thanks to funding from NSW Fair Trading.

RVRA Secretary Fran Varga explores the ongoing costs associated with living in a retirement village, in the second video in a series on the costs associated with retirement living.

The first insightful video, featuring RVRA President Roger Pallant, is on the costs of entering a retirement village. Watch it here:
