There may be many reasons why you’re thinking of moving into a retirement village, such as more companionship, increased security or better access to healthcare and support in the future.

Whatever your reasons are, before you choose a retirement village you need to make sure you are aware of the various costs and ownership, as these will differ slightly for each retirement village.

Commonly there are a few types of options available within retirement communities;

  • Independent living with the peace of mind of on-site security and a range of facilities
