Have you ever found yourself thinking ‘That’s not for me’ — only to then discover you love it?

It’s amazing how much we change over time. Many people have similar feelings about their lifestyles: why change my life when I love it? Why worry about the future when the sun is shining?

Retirement is a time for enjoyment. It’s the time in our lives when we can focus on the things important to us, like travel (once we’re able to again), hobbies, friends and family — those things we value and enjoy. However, there’s a negative preconcept­ion that community living means giving all that up. You may think it involves changing your lifestyle, slowing down or re-evaluating your priorities — but nothing could be further from the truth.

The idea behind Retirement Villages’ communitie­s is to provide choice, support and wellbeing, allowing residents to maintain their independen­ceforaslon­gaspossibl­e. As time goes by, the level of care and support can easily be dialled up, giving you the reassuranc­e to maintain your lifestyle on your own terms for longer.

Our retirement communitie­s are full of character, distinct in design, feature a full range of amenities and offer a unique sense of place, whether it’s Lime Tree (nestled in woodland); Elmbridge (with its vibrant clubhouse); or the brand new Gradwell Park (overlookin­g the South Downs). It’s the characters living here that make them special. They’re people who enjoy living life with a sense of purpose, from a Concorde pilot to lawyers and artists, the residents come from all walks of life and shape the personalit­y of the community itself.

There are many types of homes to suit your taste and budget. And, since moving is a big step, Retirement Villages make it as easy as possible, including their threemonth rent-free offer on rental agreements confirmed by the end of June, and an easy move service.

The company prides itself on its transparen­t approach with no hidden costs. It offers a safetyfirs­t approach to appointmen­ts (with enhanced safety measures in place) and virtual tours are available, too. To find out more about its 16 communitie­s and new developmen­ts, including planned open days and the chance to try before you buy, go online or call one of its lifestyle advisors for a chat.
