Since it began operating 20 years ago Settlers Village has always had one aim - to create and maintain a safe and secure community for residents who choose to live a maintenance and stress-free lifestyle.

That aim stood the retirement village in good stead last week as it was announced as the winner of the Outstanding Customer Award at the 2019 Golden Crow Awards.

The villages more than 200 residents are now celebrating the win, just as they celebrate enjoying the friendly community environment set among 20 acres of colourful gardens and green space.

Operations manager Stephen McCrea is thrilled with the accolade.

" 'Living made easy' is our mantra and something we take great pride in delivering," he said.

"Customer service is a priority for at Settlers Village and we provide passion and commitment to deliver best outcomes for residents."

The award was accepted on behalf of Settlers by Amanda Maniscalco, who has worked at the village for more than 11 years to ensure the overall enjoyment of its residents.

"At Settlers we care about our residents and respect their wishes when implementing assistance plans," she said.

Settlers Village is located six kilometers from the centre of Wagga offering residents a spacious peaceful village life with more than 25 acres of gardens.
