How to Choose a Retirement Estate
Choosing a retirement estate can be daunting at first. For many new retirees, the thought of finding somewhere to enjoy the next chapter in life is not always an easy one. Moving in with children or relatives is an even harder thought in many cases. Finding a place to enjoy the better years after working hard for so long can make all the difference. To help you know what to look for when choosing an estate that meets your needs in the short and longer term, we have put together a list of essential qualities in a retirement estate.
Housing.
It goes without saying that you want to be comfortable throughout your retirement. This is the time in life where you get to sit back and relax, after all. An estate that offers a choice of housing options will be the best way to choose the home that best suits your specific needs. This will make it far easier to find your new home, knowing that you will have many more memories ahead.
Security.
Security is another essential feature for any estate. This should include bio-metric access control as well as 24-hour patrols. Emergency assistance should also be provided to ensure that accidents, illness and other emergencies are handled as quickly as possible. Security is the best way to ensure full peace of mind, every single day.
Facilities.
Another thing to consider is the facilities offered within the estate. An estate that is designed to provide everything you could ever need, from healthcare and frail care to fitness facilities, restaurants and dining facilities, swimming pools, gardens, libraries, and other facilities that improve quality of life. A luxury retirement estate such as Val de Vie Evergreen goes one step further, with golf courses, a spa, running, cycling and walking trails, and equestrian facilities.
Activities.
Tied closely to facilities, activities should also be considered. At Val de Vie Evergreen, residents have a wide range of activities on offer – wine tasting, spa treatments, polo and horse riding lessons, tennis and squash, walking, cycling, picnics, fine dining, socialising, events, and plenty more besides.
Location.
Finally, the last thing to consider is the location of the estate. Spending your later years somewhere exquisite, surrounded by nature, is the best way to enjoy each and every moment. Val de Vie Evergreen residents have the chance to enjoy close proximity to Paarl and Stellenbosch, with the Cape Winelands and all of its beauty within easy reach.
