WHEN a series of health issues prompted John and Diana Davison to downsize from their Langwarrin family home, they initially considered buying a smaller stand-alone unit or moving into a traditional retirement village.
Instead, the retired accountant and schoolteacher settled on a portable factory-built home in a manufactured housing estate in Cranbourne, buying the house and securing a 90-year lease over the land.
“We looked at a retirement village but the people there were just too old for us, whereas here there are people who still work,” Diana, 70, tells BusinessDaily.
"There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort."
