Living expo to help seniors plan for retirement

A SENIOR lifestyle expo in Ballina will help locals over 55 plan for retirement, with aged care experts, health professionals and support services all under one roof.

The Ballina Retirement Living and Senior Lifestyle Expo returns to the region on Thursday, June 5.

It will be held at the Ballina Jockey Club and is supported by Senior Expos Australia who travel across the country to run similar events.

The event is designed for people over 55 to engage with a range of exhibitors from retirement living options and travel deals to health, financial, and specialised senior services.

The expo provides direct links to small businesses and services available at Ballina and the wider region.

It is the largest and only Senior Expos Australia event planned for the Northern Rivers this year.

“This event is all about simplifying the decision-making process,” function coordinator Mike Falcon said.

“We want people to walk away feeling more confident, informed, and inspired about what lies ahead.”

Ballina home support group Sistability will be just one of the services on display at the expo.

It will provide information on home care packages, domestic assistance, gardening and home maintenance and personal care services.

There will also be local health professionals and a range of other services at the event.

It is a free event with exclusive expo-only deals, with lucky door prizes.
