Some homes are surrounded by natural wetlands; others are located in a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking majestic in terms of which residents do not own the property but rather acquire the right to live in the home for the remainder of their (and their partner’s) life. Evergreen villages also offer top security along with an array of activities and amenities that encourage wellness, a sense of community, access to continuous healthcare and exceptional hospitality to residents. “I’ve been here for four years and never looked back,” says Sophia McKeller, a resident at an Evergreen Lifestyle village. “People sometimes cling to things, afraid to make a mind shift or to move away from what they know.

What they have in common are spaces that afford their residents privacy, peace and a great quality of life along with easy access to amenities and various community-centred exercise, sporting and social activities. Overall, the benchmark for a retirement offering should be a place where lifestyle meets secure living in an environment that combines residential, recreational and quality healthcare facilities so that you can truly enjoy the best years of your life.
