Are over 55 lifestyle villages the best option for retirement?
If you have been wondering whether over 55 lifestyle villages are the best option for retirement, then we are here to help you decide. The honest answer is that it completely depends on what you’re looking for. Each individuals’ preferences and needs are completely different and at Burnham Waters, we have tailored our retirement community to reflect exactly that.
Over 55 lifestyle villages are a great option upon retirement as they cater for so much! There really is something for everyone and all levels of ability. Here’s what you need to consider, when making your decision.
Simplicity and independence
Over 55 lifestyle villages could be a suitable retirement living option for you if you are looking to enjoy a low maintenance lifestyle, with the benefit of complete independence. The great thing about having everything in one place means that amenities are accessible at any time, there are always activities going on and there is always someone on hand to help.

In fact, luxury retirement communities like Burnham Waters offer a one stop vicinity where you are able to feel safe, secure and stress-free in this next step of life.
Care and assistance
It’s worth mentioning that most over 55 lifestyle villages don’t offer around the clock care. If you are in need of prolonged medical care, it’s important that you seek out information from specialist care homes and advice from health care providers, so that you can find the perfect fit, that accommodates your needs best.
At Burnham Waters, there will be a doctor’s surgery on-site and we are able to introduce you to a provider of care packages, should you require assistance in your home. While retirement villages differ from care homes, should you ever need assistance or urgent care, you will be well looked after and your health is a consistent priority.
A social community
We are well aware that life doesn’t stop as you get older! Over 55 lifestyle villages are all about the community and living a life that brings you joy. We understand that a social and active lifestyle is one off the best benefits of living in a retirement complex. Unlike standard retirement homes, there is always something going on that you can get involved in.
