Mrs Andrew said they hadn't needed the village's hospital facility yet ''but we don't know what the future holds''.
"If one of us has to go into the hospital the other can still be in the village and it makes it much easier."
The Somervale Residents Association president said the village was also very community orientated.
The 72-year-old said the committee had recently adopted a buddy system and would hold a Spring Festival in October for the first time.
"I love it here and we organise a lot of social gatherings, which is great," she said.
"It's entirely up to yourself what you want to do ... there is so much going on in the village to choose from."
