For many people, independence is their most valued strength in life. It represents strength, capability, good health, and it’s certainly a big concern for people considering the move from their existing independence into a new living environment.

It’s not surprising that the silence around asking for help applies especially to the aging population. Sadly, the extra help available to retirees is often apprehended, rather than appreciated for its advantages.

Victoria Towers is recognised across Australia for providing premium living conditions in our retirement villages around the Gold Coast. We look at some of the aspects concerned when you’re considering a retirement village as a viable way to access the extra help you need.

There are many reasons people consider moving to a retirement village.

Perhaps the need for assistance in your life comes with the desire to form a stronger community, reconnect with others after the loss of a loved one, take stress out of a lack of mobility at home, or satisfy the need for a living environment that is more secure than your previous home has become.

These are all circumstances of needing a little extra help. Retirement Villages provide you with a solution for your extra needs and can solve a great deal of stress and alleviate worry in the process.

It is useful to outline the benefits that aged care living and retirement living offers for people during this important transition in life, and what to expect from a very new and unfamiliar living environment.

Balancing things out again.

The purpose of such a facility is to make space for the more important things in your life – family, friends and being a part of a community you’re happy to live in. Retirement villages and aged care solutions can provide their residents with a meaningful home and community in which they can contribute.

Individual needs, individual circumstances.

There are many different levels and intensities of care you can expect to see in a retirement village, and certainly in aged care facilities. As all individuals have a different set of circumstances, each person is treated according to their level of need. When you need extra help, a retirement village provides the expert care and assistance you need to balance your life, in a way that minimises stress and makes the most of the independence you treasure.
