So why wait? Here’s why making the move to retirement living, earlier, could be the best decision you’ll ever make.
- The Power of Choice
Choosing where to spend your retirement years is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. Moving to retirement living earlier means:
+ You’re in control – you get to choose where you live, rather than having to move into whatever is available later.
+ You pick your ideal location – close to family, friends, and the amenities you love.
+ You find the perfect home – with the layout, size, and features that suit your lifestyle.
When you wait too long, unexpected health issues or life circumstances can force a rushed decision, leaving you with fewer retirement living options. Moving into a retirement village while you’re still independent means you get to make the choice for yourself.
- Staying in Control
Your home is filled with memories and treasures, and moving is a personal journey. By making the move to a retirement villa on your own terms, you can:
+ Sort, sell, or gift your possessions the way you want.
+ Take your time with downsizing rather than feeling rushed.
+ Manage the sale of your home rather than leaving it to others.
“The great thing about moving when we did was being able to downsize ourselves and be in control of what we were getting rid of,” says Jenny Blackler, who moved into The Sterling, Kaiapoi in her early 70s with her husband, Larry.
“If you put another five years on us, we wouldn’t have been able to do that. We would have lost the control to do it all ourselves.”
- The Benefit of Youth
Many people think 65 is too young to move into a retirement village – but those who do never regret it! It ensures you have the energy and drive to:
+ Stay active and make the most of village amenities.
+ Join in on events and activities while you have the energy to enjoy them.
+ Build friendships early so you feel part of the community from the start.
“The great thing about moving in while you’re still young is you actually get to enjoy all the fantastic activities on offer,” Jenny adds.
- The Gift of Time & Community
Loneliness can be a challenge for retirees, especially after losing a partner. Moving into a retirement village early gives you time to:
+ Build a strong social network before you need
+ Settle into the community while you’re active and engaged.
+ Ensure support is in place for later in life.
Jenny and Larry sum it up perfectly:
“One day, there’s only going to be one of us, and now we know that the one left behind is going to be okay. You’ve got people around you that know you, and you would never be lonely here.”
