\"Aston-on-Trent1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Making that exciting decision to\u00a0move to a retirement village\u00a0should be\u00a0a lifestyle\u00a0choice in which the property element is just one part<\/h3>\n

If you are\u00a0seeking an enhanced quality of life with\u00a0a range of superb\u00a0facilities and services at\u00a0your fingertips this will be the perfect move for you.<\/p>\n

Life in a retirement village is about maintaining your independence by having access to a range of first class services. For example, transport, gardening and maintenance, cleaning, laundry and personal care.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s about social life<\/strong>; being part of a socially-active community with easy access to a range of stimulating activities, events and\u00a0wonderful facilities such as a pool, spa and fitness studio.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also about security<\/strong>; being secure and feeling secure, both in terms of personal safety and reassurance that help is close at hand if you need it.<\/p>\n

Finally it\u2019s about the property<\/strong>; a bright, modern home that\u2019s fit for purpose both now and into the future,\u00a0and somewhere\u00a0that’s aspirational.<\/p>\n

The award-winning retirement village operator, Richmond Villages<\/a>, which is part of the healthcare\u00a0group Bupa, ticks all of these boxes.<\/p>\n

Commented Head of Marketing, David Reaves: \u201cIn terms of the property, generally our customers are downsizing, but not in terms of the size of rooms, just the number of them.\u00a0 People are often moving from large family homes with four, five or more bedrooms and large gardens. They simply don\u2019t need\u00a0lots of bedrooms any more but large living spaces instead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our buyers want homes that are right for them now and into the future<\/h4>\n

It may have been some time\u00a0since\u00a0many people\u00a0last updated their kitchen and bathrooms so it\u2019s an exciting prospect to move to a home with all the latest designs, materials and technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur customers are very practical and forward thinking,\u201d continued David.\u00a0\u201cThey want to be sure that the home they buy is right for them now and into the future. Level access into the property is important, as it is into the shower, to avoid complications should they have or develop mobility issues.\u00a0 Similarly,\u00a0wide doorways\u00a0are important and in the kitchen features such as eye-level ovens and fridges equally so. A dishwasher is also a must for many, but with the capacity for half loads so that it can be used economically.\u201d<\/p>\n
