There\u2019s something rather exciting about retiring, and it\u2019s not just about finding more of a work\/life balance. It is the opportunity to be able to reimagine your whole lifestyle, by moving into a residential village that has been specifically created to improve your quality of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Because, did you hear the news? 65 is now the new 45. And a lifestyle retirement village is the perfect place to call home when you\u2019re ready to truly enjoy your golden years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In a lifestyle retirement village, the homes are purpose-built, meaning they have all the amenities and fittings you need to live in absolute comfort. Designed for ease of movement and low maintenance, you\u2019ll have less to do \u2018around the house\u2019, leaving plenty of time for other enjoyable activities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One of the best things about lifestyle village living is that there are so many opportunities for socialising, whether it\u2019s just having a cuppa with the neighbours, or joining in on weekly excursions organised by the village. Friends are easy to come by because there are always new ways to meet people – from movie nights to hobby groups and themed dinners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As we move into our golden years, we often experience a greater sense of vulnerability. Which is why a lifestyle village offers peace of mind for things like security (living in a gated community) and also safety, as help from on-site staff is only a quick phone call away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At many residential villages you don\u2019t have to venture far from home to have access to a number of great facilities. There are often communal lounges and dining halls, places to enjoy happy hour and entertain family from outside the village, pools, gyms and libraries, as well as services (like health professionals and hairdressers) who come to you!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Above all else, a lifestyle retirement village is about ensuring you get to live the life you want to, without compromise. We all have different ideas of what our golden years will look like, and the great thing about choosing to live in a residential village is that it allows you to do things your way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our retirement years are to be enjoyed, and by choosing the right place to live, it can really set you up to maximise everyday – however you want to spend them.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nQuality of living in a purpose built home<\/b><\/h3>\n
