Wondering whether to consider a retirement estate? Unlike downsized apartments, cottages or houses, estates are designed to provide more than just housing. Many are situated in picturesque, secure areas and offer a wide range of facilities. These estates are similar to gated communities, with the added advantage of catering exclusively to those enjoying a stress-free retirement. Some include assisted living facilities as well as independent properties within the same estate, adding even more peace of mind. There are many benefits to choosing a retirement estate, including the following:
Lifestyle.
A good retirement estate will provide you with far more than a place to enjoy the next chapter in your life. The lifestyle is often what attracts seniors. Choosing an estate that is located within an area that has much to offer in the way of activities, attractions and scenery will help you enjoy your retirement, with plenty to do each day. Estates such as Val de Vie Evergreen offer the best of the Cape Winelands, with a huge choice of things to do – bowls, walks, tennis, swimming, spa treatments, dining, and plenty more besides.
Security.
Security should always be a priority when choosing any type of retirement property. Yet another benefit of choosing an estate rather than a single dwelling is that estates provide a far better level of security. Estates are essentially gated villages, with access control and a single point of entry into the village. Additional features such as biometric access, 24-7 patrols, and emergency assistance ensure even more peace of mind at all times, allowing you to enjoy your golden years without added worries.
Care.
Having access to frail care and home care can be challenging outside of an estate. In most cases, nurses need to be hired to ensure that health needs are met adequately. This can be even more of a challenge if help is only available during the day. In an estate, you will have access to help at all stages of your later years. At Val de Vie Evergreen, you will be able to access primary and home-based care as well as the Frail Care Centre that provides 24-7 care.
Val de Vie Evergreen offers all of the benefits of an estate, giving you a safe, scenic space to enjoy the rest of your days. Take a virtual house walk-through to view one of our retirement houses and get a taste of what to expect at this exclusive retirement estate.
