What do luxury retirement villages have to offer?
A diverse lifestyle
As we get older, it’s natural to want to stay as independent as possible for as long as we are able. Upon retirement, a new path in life opens up, which encourages new experiences to be had and enjoyed. It’s important that you are able to live a lifestyle that brings you happiness and fulfilment. Unlike standard retirement accommodation, which can sometimes feel isolating and uninspiring, luxury retirement villages, such as Burnham Waters in Essex, can offer a diverse lifestyle, which expands way beyond your property.
The Burnham Waters retirement community is specifically tailored towards the over 55s. Our on-site community and facilities are available for use whenever you require. This will include access to fitness classes, swimming, an array of scenic nature walks, local shops and restaurants; we will even offer transportation into the town centre. We have been innovative with our design, so that your lifestyle is limitless!
Peace of mind
Naturally, as we age, our priorities change. Having the assurance that you will be well looked after as you get older offers ultimate peace of mind for both you, your family and friends. Of-course, we want to stay as independent as possible, however, the reality is that we never truly know what is around the corner.
Luxury retirement villages offer the constant stability of help at hand, should you ever need it. At Burnham Waters, there is always assistance available. From on-going maintenance and an on-site estate manager to access to fully qualified carers/care packages and future plans for an on-site doctor’s surgery; you can rest assured that you will never have to worry about your wellbeing, because help is simply a call away.
Stress free simplicity
Sometimes it’s the little things that bring the most joy. Whether that’s a spot of gardening, a walk in the park or simply taking time out to read your favourite book; to relax and unwind is important for your overall wellbeing. Before retirement, we often set our sights on a stress-free and simple way of life. Luxury retirement communities promote exactly that lifestyle.
At luxury retirement villages likes ours at Burnham Waters, we can assure ease of access to all amenities, allowing you to explore and enjoy as much or as little as you deem necessary on a day-to-day basis. With everything accounted for, you’ll have time to do the things that are most important to you. We hope you’re ready to relax and make the most of a low maintenance lifestyle.
While you will benefit from your own patio area, there are also vast, landscaped grounds, for you to enjoy at your leisure, without having to worry about the hassle of any up keep. For those keen to pursue their passion for gardening, there will be onsite allotments for residents, enabling you to take responsibility for your own plot.
Additionally, when it comes to a stress-free lifestyle, knowing that you are safe and secure in your surroundings certainly has a part to play. In luxury retirement villages, resident security and safety is always a priority. We offer the option of an alert system, which can be installed in your property for total reassurance. To enhance that safe, community feel, there is also an on-site security office and 24/7 security.
A close-knit community
Furthermore, luxury retirement villages offer a community of their own. One of the great benefits of living in a retirement complex is the social opportunities available. When considering retirement living options, loneliness and isolation are often causes for concern with potential residents and their families. At Burnham Waters, our multi-functional village thrives on the power of local community.
Residents will be able to enjoy a weekly agenda, packed full of optional activities to enable those all important connections. From book clubs and coffee mornings to swim classes, there will always something to get involved in amongst our vibrant community for the over 55s.
Alongside fitness opportunities and organised meet ups, Burnham Waters will also offer plenty of other activities that encourage an active and social lifestyle. We will ensure that there is something on offer for everyone, of any ability.
Our leisure facilities will include:
- Fitness Classes
- Gym
- Swimming Pool
- Tennis
- Allotments
- Routes and nature trails for walking and cycling, including a scenic lake
