The positive effects retirement communities can have on your health and happiness.
The residents of retirement communities enjoy numerous health advantages. Social interaction has been shown to improve health and well-being. And you can reap the rewards far before retirement age. A retirement community is open to everyone 55 and over, regardless of whether they are now retired or not.
Villages devoted to your physical and mental health
It's important to us that the local community stays fit and healthy. That's why we offer community-specific lifestyle and wellness programmes. Each community sets its own time-table, however some examples of possible events are:
- Yoga
- Soft Tai Chi Form
- Circuit
- Groups that Walk/Ride Bikes
- Groups in society
- Activities and travel
Places that are close to shops, restaurants, and hospitals.
For a stress-free existence, convenience is essential. Village life is generally more convenient for residents because of the proximity to services. That's why most of our villages are located within or close to bustling urban centres where amenities like public transportation and healthcare are readily available. Retail therapy is also conveniently located.
You can still have health and lifestyle professionals visit your house.
Concerning health care, a common question is whether or not residents have access to their own care services after moving in. Yes, of course you can do that. You are free to maintain your relationship with your current carers and domestic support, such as a housekeeper or nurse, even after moving.
Access to necessary medical care as well as village-based support services
To help you live your best life, we can also put you in touch with the most beneficial health and wellness programmes. Selecting service providers for our community's health and wellbeing is governed by strict criteria.
Some of the services that are offered are:
- Help within the country
- Care for the temporarily disabled
- Aid in the Shops
- Assisting others
- Cooking a Meal
- Nursing
- Supportive healthcare
- Aides
- Equipment
Physiotherapists and podiatrists are only two examples of the medical professionals who make house calls in many rural areas.
Put your mind at ease with an in-house emergency call system
You may rest easy knowing that we've worked with a leader in the industry to provide you with a home emergency call system. This method connects you instantly to trained personnel who can assist you solve any issue by phone or in person, not just in an emergency.
The health benefits of socialising
Decades of studies have proven that having more friends increases a person's longevity, immunity, and chance of recovery from sickness. Community leaders and the well-to-do tend to report the highest levels of life satisfaction.
Open arms for human and animal visitors
Your loved ones are more than welcome to spend some time in your home. Obviously, other locals value learning more about their neighbours. Therefore, you should talk to the village manager about your plans if your stay is going to be longer than 30 days.
We welcome you and your human buddies, but we also like your animal four-legged friends! Most villages are pet-friendly, but you still need to meet your pet and get approval from the village manager before moving in.
Acquiring New Pals
It's a breeze to meet new people. The social and recreational hub of any community is typically a clubhouse or community centre. The culture of the village is geared towards interaction, so there is never a lack of things to do or places to go. You're free to participate as actively or passively as you'd like in local affairs.
There is an abundance of travel opportunities.
Even if you settle in a small town, your wanderlust can continue unabated. Your RV has a spot here, too! It's necessary to double-check this information before you move in, although many of our towns provide designated parking for vans or trailers.
Residents' Opinions
The locals will fight hardest for us. Being a member of a neighbourhood full of individuals who share your interests is only one of the numerous retirement community perks.
