An app that is exclusively for Samford Grove residents will empower you and your family with smarter ways to make the most of your retirement lifestyle.

The Samford Grove app is easy to download on an iPhone or iPad and is packed with plenty of clever features to connect you with the community!

Want to read up on news from the local area? Maybe you want to share photos of The Homestead’s swimming pool, library or cafe with your chosen family and friends? This will all be at your fingertips.

Once you become a Samford Grove resident the app will expand to keep you informed about the many activities and interest groups on offer. You can enjoy a new level of convenience as you tap to view our cinema screening times, vote on your preferred movie option then book your attendance.

Our residents’ safety and comfort are at the heart of this innovative approach. You can expect to receive an alert if a storm is approaching or a local power outage is scheduled, and you can contact the Samford Grove management team directly via the app with any maintenance queries or general feedback.

Should you choose to share a scaled-back version of the app with your family members or friends they can have added peace of mind by seeing when you stay active by attending village events.

Reside Communities Operations Manager, Craig Syphers, said the bespoke app had been in development for more than six months before the innovative technology was perfected.

“During the design phase we were very conscious of meeting the changing needs of our residents,” said Mr Syphers. “When using the Samford Grove app you will see it is very visual, with more graphics and less text making it accessible and easy to navigate.

“We are delighted that it has been so well received within our community. More than 80 per cent of residents within the community have already used their app to stay connected with a few taps of their fingers.

“The Samford Grove team is committed to finding innovative new ways for residents to interact with their fellow residents, their own families and with our management team,” he said.

Of course, we ensure that anyone who prefers not to use their Samford Grove app doesn’t miss out. All community information will be accessible on our display board and anyone who doesn’t respond via the app will always be contacted directly by our team when necessary.

This innovative approach to creating an outstanding retirement lifestyle is typical of Samford Grove, where residents live within easy walking distance of Samford township’s shops, cafes and health services.

Along with the amazing resort-style facilities,  visitors had the opportunity to inspect brand new apartments, townhomes and villas – all while enjoying an action-packed program of fun for all ages.

Free freshly brewed barista coffee, choc-topped ice cream and fairy floss, live music, a jumping castle, face painting, a balloon twister and magician all kept the young and the young at heart entertained.

Visitors also munched their way through a couple of hundred sausages and more than six kilograms of onions as the Rotary Club of Samford Valley kept busy at the barbecue.

Two new display townhomes featuring contemporary light-filled floor plans and expansive views were unveiled on the day as part of a multi-million dollar expansion.

Samford Grove’s new luxury community hub, known as The Homestead, was the centrepiece of the day’s celebrations.

Featuring an amazing array of exclusive facilities including a 21-seat cinema, beauty salon, bar, gym, indoor heated lap pool, private dining room, lounge and library, residents’ kitchen, café, outdoor barbecue and entertainment spaces, it sets a new standard for retirement facilities on Brisbane’s northside.

‘So many village residents on hand to chat’

Denise Quinlan and her daughter Alison, pictured above, were among the many visitors who came along to discover all that Samford Grove has to offer as well as chat with village residents to gain a first-hand impression.

“I’ve always wanted to have a look,” said Denise. “It was great to see all the facilities and we checked out all the different levels of accommodation.”

“One of the really good things was that there so many village residents on hand to chat to as part of the day – which meant we were able to get a genuine account. We were impressed,” said Alison.

Former Sydneysider and Samford Grove’s newest resident Christina, enjoying the day with daughter Justine and grandson James, above, said that although she had only moved in a week ago she was already getting to know the other residents.

“Everyone is so friendly here,” she said.  “When you buy into somewhere like Samford Grove, you buy into a lifestyle.

“I was living in a large home in Sydney that required a lot of maintenance.  When we sat down to work out all the figures, we were surprised by the amount of savings just on maintenance costs alone.”

Rotary club stalwart Bob Millar said Samford’s genuine sense of community spirit contributed to its enduring appeal.

“It’s such an active community as well, with many popular ways for people of all ages to be involved, including service clubs, a very popular Men’s Shed, as well as an archery and bowls club to name just a few,” he said.
