A visit to Malaysia's Premier Retirement Village - Green Acres, Ipoh

A visit to Malaysia's Premier Retirement Village - Green Acres, Ipoh

Lots of our customers (both local or overseas) have asked us for recommendations for retirement villages in Malaysia. In order to provide the best, most accurate recommendations, The iElder team has been visiting retirement villages/retirement resorts across the country to find out more about the retirement scene in Malaysia. 

When I read The Edge's article : "Third Age: A lifelong learner and persistent entrepreneur" dated Nov 23, 2019, I was inspired by Mdm Siew Yin Leng, former nurse, Founder of GreenAcres and Co-Founder of Total Investment Group engaged Australian architecture firm Marchese Partners. In her travels overseas, she often admired the retirement villages that offer quality alternative lifestyles for retirees. Since the concept of retirement villages are considered relatively new in Malaysia, Mdm Siew had to be involved in the master planning, site analysis and concept design of GreenAcres from the ground up. The developer and local architect, S. N. Low & Associates, contributed the local input to ensure that the product suits Malaysians and fulfilled all the local building requirements.

James Pany, General Manager of GreenAcres and Ms Ng Siew Leng, Senior Lifestyle Consultant brought us for a site tour at Green Acres Retirement Village during our vocation journey to Penang on 21 December 2022.

Benefits

Green Acres Retirement village living fits the needs of both parents and children. For the parents, it is a place where they enjoy their freedom, yet have the peace of mind that support services are nearby. For the children, they rest assured knowing that their parents' needs are well taken care of, and that they are in an environment which promotes their social, mental and physical well-being.

Most seniors who have owned house and found it too big for own usage. They are happy with downsizing and prefer to sell existing home and move to Green Acres well planned interiors.

It is really a great place for seniors to make new friends here. Most residents' children are overseas, and the seniors prefer to stay in Malaysia. Thus, they choose to stay in this place with safety and security features available.  

During my trip to Green Acres Retirement Village, I found myself in love with the companionship, social, intellectual and physical activities offered to residents. It is a community of independent people enjoying life.
