Making that Wise Move
Retirement villages are communities like any other in the sense that people are simply going about their lives as they choose. The main difference is a retirement village community comprises people at a similar stage in life who are all seeking the kind of lifestyle that a retirement village offers.
The only thing that’s really changed is their address, and perhaps the amount of yard work and home maintenance they need to do. And they’ve gained something as well – a community.

When is the best time?
Not everybody who moves into a retirement village is retired. We’re seeing an increase in the number of residents who are still working. However, retirement is an excellent time to consider a lifestyle change. You’ll probably have more free time than you have enjoyed in many years, and our villages offer facilities and services that can make life as vibrant and active or as restful and relaxing as you choose.
Home sweet home
Size and amenity are important factors when choosing your new home. Downsizing is important and offers the benefit of easier upkeep and maintenance. It is important to consider your needs and requirements. Some of our homes are quite large, allowing plenty of space for family and friends. All homes have been designed to promote easy living, with indoor and outdoor space for entertaining. Our friendly staff will be more than happy to guide you through the available options.
