The benefits of retirement villages Essex at Christmas
Retirement villages Essex offer countless benefits all year round. At Christmas though, the magic is highlighted especially! As Christmas fast approaches, retirement villages offer many opportunities that enable all to enjoy the festivities with friends, neighbours and family alike. This week, our team detail the many advantages of retirement villages Essex for residents around Christmas.
Sense of community and togetherness
First on our list for good reason. Retirement villages Essex offer a sense of community and togetherness like no other option. Loneliness and isolation are two of the biggest concerns that potential residents and their family members often have when considering moving to a retirement establishment. At Burnham Waters, our new build bungalows are part of a wider village and our luxury living for over 55 is worlds apart from the standard retirement home. From the size of the complex, to the social opportunities on offer, the breadth of the community is truly your oyster.
We want nothing more than for our residents to thrive in making those all-important connections. Once fully established, our retirement community will offer lots of opportunities to get to know neighbours at coffee mornings, enjoy a book club during a cold afternoon with like-minded attendees or take a stroll to the local café for a mince pie and hot chocolate with a friend. We want our residents to enjoy and relish the amenities and all the local vicinity will have to offer, whenever they wish! The possibilities are limitless, and of-course, our wonderful staff will always be on hand to help, or for a natter.
Social independence
Living within retirement villages and preserving a sense of real personal independence is encouraged in retirement communities such as ours. Having your own space, whilst knowing there’s a like-minded group of people around you with similar interests is a comforting prospect for many over 55s.
Luxury retirement villages Essex, like Burnham Waters, effortlessly create a sense of communal living, and we will deliver a host of shared leisure facilities within our village.

Safety and security
As the weather gets colder and the nights get darker, it’s imperative that the elderly feel safe in their homes. Retirement villages Essex, like Burnham Waters, ensure an enhanced level of security within each home and on the external premises.
Each home is equipped with state of the art security features, including a video camera doorbell.

No winter home maintenance
Retirement villages allow residents simple and stress-free living, so that they can live their retirement to the full! The stress of winter maintenance is taken away, so that Christmas can be enjoyed with loved ones.
Maintaining the condition of your home in winter can be a challenge, not to mention, more dangerous as we get older. With the likes of heating and plumbing notorious for causing issues around this time of year, home maintenance can also get expensive, with no pre-warning. Having to call for help to aid in fittings and fixtures can be a nuisance, not to mention stressful.
At Burnham Waters, our annual service fee covers a host of maintenance requirements. No more waiting for weeks on end without heating, and ultimately, saving your pocket and even your health long-term.
Celebrate the festivities in style!
In our opinion, the build-up and excitement of the festive season is just as important for over 55s as it is the younger generation! Retirement villages Essex allow many opportunities to maximise the potential of Christmas and New Year celebrations over December and January.
Many luxury retirement villages will go the extra mile to ensure residents can enjoy the season if they wish to join in, keep healthy and feel secure at home. Our experienced team are here for you throughout the festive season, with your wellbeing always our number one priority.
