focus on senior living Why a move to a Retirement Village is good for your health FEELINGS OF ISOLATION and vulnerability are frequently a consequence of getting older, no matter how independent you are. However, recent studies assessing the effect of a move to a specialised accommodation, such as retirement villages like Bramshott Place Village in Liphook, or Durrants Village in Faygate, reveal many positive results. According to research, 75% of residents in specialist retirement accommodation have not stayed overnight in hosptial since moving there, and 60% who had stayed in hospital said that they had found it easier to return home since moving. The majority of people feel happier in their new homes and are glad they made the move. With more facilities and like-minded people in a similar situation to themselves around them, feelings of isolation decrease, leading to 92% of residents saying they are very happy or contented with improved emotional well-being. 64% also feel that their physical health improves after such a move. There are economic benefits too. The homes designed for retirement living are in general smaller � �� nursing care �� and better insulated than those that retired people have downsized from, so are cheaper to run and more comfortable to live in. These homes usually have features especially for older people such as switches and sockets that are easier to reach, walk-in showers, and an emergency contact system. Apartment buildings will have a lift, and ground floor accommodation will be designed for easy access too; all comforting features if mobility and fear of falls is starting to affect your quality of life. Stress from worrying about maintaining the house and garden becomes a thing of the past. All maintenance is provided by the management, and although this is all paid for through the service charge, economies of scale usually mean that it costs less than if these chores had been carried out individually. Perhaps best of all – and something that you can’t really put a price on – is the feeling of camaraderie that comes with a move to a retirement village. New friends and interests, or the chance to spend more time on established ones, and the knowledge that you never need to be alone unless you choose to be – all mean that life really can begin at 55!
