Why people love retirement living: 5 reasons

It's never easy leaving the family home, but for many people, the transition into a retirement village offers an exciting new lease on life.

With so much to look forward to, it's no wonder retirement living is so popular.

Here are 5 reasons why residents have loved their move into a retirement village.

  1. Strong sense of community

Retirement villages can help you create a supportive and active community of friends, right on your doorstep. It takes a village to look out for each other, and there's always someone up for a chat and a cuppa.

  1. No more home maintenance stress

You'll worry less about raking the leaves, cleaning the gutters or mowing the lawn. Retirement homes are usually low maintenance, and downsizing into a smaller space can offer you relief from all those home and garden maintenance activities you used to worry about. You’ll find more time in the day to do the things you love.

  1. Living a healthy lifestyle

Retirement villages encourage a healthy lifestyle and can offer plenty of recreational activities. And, it's a lot easier with a whole community of friends to join in with you.

You might find yourself in competitive tennis sessions, doing laps in the pool, or taking a yoga class in the mornings. There's always something to do to keep your mind and body active.

Some villages often also have on-site restaurants or cafes, offering a range of tasty, yet healthy meals and snacks, too.

  1. More independence

Retirement villages are purposefully designed to meet the needs of older Australians.

Having the added support of social activities and home maintenance allows residents to live a more independent and fulfilling life.

  1. New friends and new hobbies

Living in a retirement community gives you many opportunities to try new things and build new connections. Explore the hobbies you've always wanted to try, or delve back into something you haven't done in years. You'll have a whole community of new friends to make the most of village life with you.
