Moving into a retirement village is a significant life decision, and it’s possible that it will be one of the final significant housing choices you’ll have to make. The decision to move into a retirement community should not be taken lightly.

It is imperative that you find a solution to this problem in order for you to be able to spend your retirement years in ease and security.

We have compiled a list of things that we believe are important for you to take into consideration as you research the many housing options that are open to you during retirement, and we recommend that you devote some attention to this list.

Make a Plan That Is Easy to Follow

This is absolutely necessary in every conceivable way! You should look for a property that is senior-friendly so that you won’t have to make large modifications to it when your mobility starts to reduce and so that you won’t have to fret about the prospect of having to relocate. 

At Marston Living, many of the residences are built on a level ground that is accessible by wheelchair. This makes the community ideal for seniors as well.

Please Don’t Downsize

You should find joy in the process of downsizing, but some residents still consider purchasing a retirement unit that has three bedrooms, an open floor design, and two bathrooms. This is due to the fact that you may still want to welcome friends and family members from time to time.

Consider How You Can Keep Yourself Safe

It is not acceptable for someone who has criminal intentions to be able to wake you up in the middle of the night while they are trying to commit a crime. 

After the close of regular business hours, Marston Living becomes a gated community that requires the use of a key to enter.

Modern Design Is Ready For You

You have every reason to be content with the area that you call home, and the less it resembles the kind of neighbourhood that is traditionally associated with seniors, the better it is for you. 

You have every right to be delighted with the site that you call home. It is the intention of the architects and landscape designers of Marston Living to create the appearance of a posh community that is representative of your affluent lifestyle.

…As Well as a Beautiful Kitchen Area

We are certain that you will still take joy in hosting dinner parties for your loved ones and friends. For this reason, it is an absolute must to have a kitchen that is adequately lit, has sufficient space, and is kept up to date.

Location

When making a purchase of real estate, it is general knowledge that the location, location, and location of the property are the three most significant factors to take into consideration. 

We agree with you, and we are delighted to let you know that our position is not “out in the sticks,” but rather in a convenient area that is just a few minutes’ drive away from the local shops, health care facilities, public transportation and business districts.

The Ground is All Yours

You should still make some time in your schedule to “potter around” in your new home, even if you do not have a natural talent for tending to plants. 

While we maintain the grass and grounds at Marston Living, our residents are more than welcome to pitch in and help with the upkeep anytime they feel so inclined.
