Moving house is always a major decision, and if you are conscious of a growing need for personal care and assistance, you may believe that residential care is your only option. But what if you could actually own (partly or fully) or rent your own home with all the privacy and independence you like, along with the reassurance of daily care and support to care home levels and a 24-hour on-site staff team? You may be surprised to discover that retirement communities can offer all of this, and more. We hope to show you that as you get older you have a choice – a choice to remain independent, active and in control of how you live your life, whilst receiving the support and care that you might need.
