Retirement living – is now the time?
The process of selling and buying a new home is stressful for anyone, but even more overwhelming for people in their later years, who might not have purchased a home in over thirty years. When you’re in your 80s, perhaps recently widowed, the idea of arranging solicitors, surveys, banking; it’s all incredibly daunting. Renting removes this roadblock, lifting the veil on what is possible.
The Birchgrove way
Birchgrove is transforming the way people view renting by making it as hassle-free as possible. We want you to enjoy imaginative, high-quality, independent living without all the complexities of house ownership. Say goodbye to maintenance chores, like building repairs and mowing your lawn, because we’re here to lift that from you.
Our inclusive rent makes it easier to manage your finances. It is reviewed once annually when it will be adjusted in line with the retail price index.
The inclusive rent covers all the large-ticket expenses like energy costs – electricity, heating and water and many of the rising incidental costs that go along with owning your own home eg housekeeping, broadband, window cleaning, gardening, buildings insurance, security and a whole host of other things.
We like to think that renting with Birchgrove is an active, positive lifestyle choice!
Loneliness and isolation can be devastating to our mental and physical health, especially as we get older. But when you move to a Birchgrove retirement community there’s so many opportunities to make new friends and settle into community life. And with all sorts of stimulating activities on offer, including hobby and activity sessions, movie nights, bridge and gardening clubs, singing and crafts, there really is something for everyone.
Our high-quality communal facilities are the perfect spaces to make meet, connect and socialise. Each Birchgrove retirement community has a restaurant, Club Room, licensed bar, wellness suite, landscaped gardens and so much more.
Is now the time?
As the cold winter season stretches ahead, maybe it’s time to grab your New Year’s resolution with firm intent and look to your future by ‘rightsizing’. No more putting up with the same old, same old. Planning ahead not only offers more choice and control over where you move to, it also gives you a sensible amount of time to get organised and prepare for your move and take control of the things that matter most to you.
Maybe it’s time to think differently about retirement living…
