Not all Ryman residents can claim viral internet sensation status – but Patrick Hogan Retirement Village’s Doug Lineham sure can!

It was during the live televised name reveal for Ryman Healthcare’s new Cambridge village on TVNZ’s Breakfast that presenter Matty McClean happened upon Doug.
The resulting hilarious sequence of dry, but complimentary-to-Ryman, one-liners left the audience calling for Doug to have his own show. One fan even touted him as the next PM!
What viewers didn’t know, however, was that behind the droll exterior, Doug was dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Jan.

For those contemplating downsizing, the prospect of parting with a family home often involves a mix of nostalgia and practical considerations. However, this transition need not be daunting. In fact, there are strategic approaches to ensure downsizers can keep the essence of the space they love, even in a more compact setting.
Prioritise Sentimental Items
When embarking on the downsizing journey, it's crucial to prioritise sentimental items that hold cherished memories. Consider what truly matters to you and your family. These could be family heirlooms, photo albums, or other keepsakes. Ensure that these items have a designated place in your new home, allowing you to maintain a connection with the past.
Optimise Storage Solutions
Effective storage is the key to maintaining a sense of space. Invest in furniture that serves dual purposes, such as ottomans or coffee tables with hidden storage. Utilise vertical spaces with tall bookshelves or cabinets to maximise storage without sacrificing floor space. This way, you can seamlessly integrate your possessions into the new, downsized environment.
Embrace Clever Furniture Choices
Downsizing doesn’t mean sacrificing style or comfort. Invest in furniture that not only fits your new space but also complements your aesthetic preferences. Choose multi-functional pieces that serve your needs without overwhelming the room. Tailoring your furniture choices to the available space ensures a harmonious and comfortable living environment.
Digitise Memories
In the age of technology, digitising memories has never been easier. Consider scanning old photographs and documents to create digital archives. This not only frees up physical space but also ensures the longevity of your cherished memories. Digital frames and cloud storage solutions can be valuable allies in preserving the essence of your family home.
Create Purposeful Spaces
When downsizing, it’s essential to create purposeful spaces that align with your lifestyle. Evaluate your daily routines and activities to determine the optimal layout of your new home. Designate specific areas for relaxation, socialising, and hobbies. This approach allows you to maintain a sense of familiarity and functionality within a smaller footprint.
Seek Professional Assistance
Enlisting the help of a professional real estate agent who understands the unique needs of downsizers can significantly ease the process. They can assist in finding a property that aligns with your preferences and guide you through the logistical aspects of downsizing. Their expertise can be invaluable in ensuring a smooth transition to a more manageable living space.
Downsizing is a Reimagination, Not a Farewell.
Embark on a new chapter while preserving the essence of your family home. Let's make downsizing a positive and stylish journey! 💫
