When it’s time to start thinking about your move out of the family home and into retirement living, you’ll find the choices are practically endless. It’s a good idea to start by narrowing down your options to one village or several based on their location, affordability, facilities, recommendations, or a combination of these factors and more.
Today’s retirement villages are more like luxury resorts than the ‘old folk’s homes’ of the past. They boast modern, spacious homes and villas, large entertainment areas, libraries and workshops, and a full range of activities to keep any retiree fit and active.
Finding your ideal retirement community is one of the most important tasks you’ll ever accomplish.
More retirees than ever are leaving the suburbs behind and opting for a sea change in the Redlands. They’re packing up the family home and downsizing to free up their time and money... and enjoy the fabulous village atmosphere.
You’ve decided to downsize from the family home and move into community living. You have picked the perfect retirement village, and even found your ideal villa. Then comes the job of packing up and selling the family home. All big decisions to make!
Most of us will reach a point in our life where we just “know” it’s time to downsize, move out of the family home, and start enjoying our retirement while we’re still active.
