My name is Charlotte Hayward and I am delighted to be the Village Manager at Oak Tree Retirement Village Kanwal.
I have lived on the Central Coast for most of my life, growing up in the southern suburbs before moving north, not far from Kanwal, where I purchased my first home. My partner and I love the quiet beaches and coastal walks around the area, great for keeping our active toddler busy.
I love being so close to the water and can be found most weekends having a walk around Norah Head lighthouse, lunching at a local cafe, or exploring one of the many walking tracks around Tuggerah Lakes.
Before becoming Village Manger at Oak Tree Kanwal, I enjoyed a variety of employment ranging from stage production shows for seniors, managing an oyster farm, and most recently Village Manager at Oak Tree Retirement Village Kanwal. I really enjoy meeting and helping people from all walks of life, and I’m always looking for an exciting new adventure! Which is why Oak Tree Retirement Village Kanwal suits me. I’m able to assist residents relax into their new home and enjoy the benefits of their exciting new lifestyle. To see a village community flourish gives me great satisfaction.
I have seen the Oak Tree boutique style village model work extremely well in the way that it enables residents to get to know each other by creating friendly and supportive villages, with lots of great activities. Everybody knows each other by name and Oak Tree retirement villages are genuine caring communities.
I feel proud to be part of the Oak Tree team and look forward to making a difference to the lives of our residents, families and their friends.
