When Is the Right Time to Move Into a Retirement Village?

When is the “right” time to start looking at a retirement village? For some people, it’s about lifestyle. For others, it’s about feeling safer, being less isolated, or no longer wanting to deal with the house, garden, maintenance and all the bits that come with running a home. In this bite-sized episode of The Next Bit, Hannah McQueen and Mark Leishman talk with Jenny Baldwin, Partner at Anthony Harper, about why people move into retirement villages, what to think about before you start looking, and why timing is so important. They talk about lifestyle, location, safety, security, social connection, affordability, and choosing a village that actually suits how you want to live. Because moving into a retirement village is not just a property decision. It’s a life decision. For more on this topic, listen to the full-length episodes, How to Choose the Best Retirement Village and What Are You Really Buying In A Retirement Village. Live well and independent for longer.
