Finding what's right for you: Lifestyle

Retirement is a stage of life that can come with many opportunities. It can be the ideal time to make new friends, travel more, learn something new, or pick up old hobbies again. Whatever lifestyle you enjoy, it's important you feel confident in your independence.

Finding a retirement village that suits your lifestyle and provides any support you might need is a good step toward creating a retirement where you can keep doing the things you love.

Here are some of the lifestyle opportunities often on offer at retirement villages.

Social activities and community

Losing touch with loved ones makes things tough. Social isolation can be a difficult reality for many older Australians, but retirement also gives you time to create your community again.

At a retirement village, you can often learn new hobbies and take part in many events. By getting involved in village social activities, you'll be sure to find like-minded people along the way.

Outside of scheduled activities, residents often create their own, smaller friendship groups. Dinners with neighbours, cards with friends around the corner, it can be easy to create and maintain your social community, right on your doorstep.

Facilities

Retirement villages often have a range of facilities for those who like to be active or rather relax and soak in the peaceful and tranquil surrounds. A community centre, library, billiards table, swimming pool and bowling greens can sometimes be found on-site, depending on your village.

Having these lifestyle amenities available right near your front door can mean you exercise and socialise more and enjoy positive wellbeing benefits throughout your retirement.

Care and support

We all want to maintain our independence to continue doing what we love, and retirement villages are well-placed to facilitate personalised and flexible support tailored to your care needs - both now and if these change in future.

Whether you need a little support around the house such as housekeeping services, help with grocery shopping and day-to-day living, or personal care and wellness services, most retirement villages either have their own care team or can provide support by connecting you with a third party care provider to help you get the care you need.

Did you know? Home Care services can be subsidised by the government for eligible people.

You may be able to access services to help with housecleaning, grocery shopping, and day-to-day living, in addition to personal care and other needs. Find out more about Home Care Packages
