According to an article in The Senior, “Research conducted by consulting company Grant Thornton in 2014, shows that [retirement] village residents visit their GP less often and spend fewer days in hospital than their peers in the general community. They also enter aged care five years later on average.”

If that wasn’t enough to encourage you to think about a move to a retirement village, “The DCM Longitudinal National Resident Survey conducted in 2020 found that 43% of residents experienced improved mental, physical and financial wellbeing since moving into a village or resort. Additionally, 50% experienced improved happiness and life satisfaction three years after moving in, 83% felt safer in a village, and 90% would not move back to their previous home even if home care were provided.” You can read the full article here.

Wow! That’s a pretty strong case for retirement village living. We always say that the best people to talk to when thinking about moving into a village are the residents. They know what it’s actually like to live in a place, what the social environment is like, and how easy it is to do all the things that they want to.
