Choosing a retirement village
FAQs
Google is a great place to start. Search the village you’re interested in and scroll through its website. Do a news search to see if it’s appeared in any media recently, too.
You should also search for other retirement villages within the area, especially if you know roughly what location you would like to be in. There might be a number of villages within one area, so take the time to visit the webpage of each village and scroll through the provider's website.
Always ask to be provided with the disclosure and village information documents, as you can use these to help you easily compare different villages.
Ringing the village you’re interested in or filling out a form on its website are usually the first places to start.
