Great Reasons to Live in a Retirement Village "Lifestyle, Community & Security"

Whilst the decision to move into a retirement village is a deeply personal one, and unique to each individual, the main deciding factors that residents put forward are security and health related. A 2013 industry report by McCrindle Baynes, confirmed that, "Seven out of the top 10 reasons for choosing the village accommodation option were physical health related."

It is very comforting for residents to know that there is a management team at hand that can arrange for assistance when needed, particularly medical assistance, home support and care services. Secondly, the physical features of a purpose-built retirement village with ramps, rails and age-friendly bathrooms, provide more physical comfort, independence and mobility than the old family home. Finally, the fact that you no longer have to do the mundane but time consuming, maintenance of your home like mowing the lawn or changing the light globe, or even cooking if you don't want to, reduces the daily stress levels and gives more time for enjoyable pursuits.
