Experts now believe that one of the best ways to age gracefully is to be sociable<\/h3>\n

One lady enjoying the social side of living in a retirement community is Jean Wray who found her perfect apartment through retirement rental specialists, My Future Living.<\/p>\n

Last year, Jean, 77, lost her husband John to Covid.<\/p>\n

The couple who were married for over 40 years, decided to move from North London to Seaford in East Sussex four years ago for a quieter way of life and to be close to the sea.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u200bJean rents a one-bedroom apartment at Homeshore House in Seaford on an assured tenancy and says that renting in retirement is the best decision she and her late husband ever made.<\/p>\n

Jean says, \u201cIt was a great decision to move and now every day I enjoy stress-free living.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jean, a retired legal secretary, enjoys helping to organise social events for residents in the development including bingo evenings, garden centre visits, pub lunches and golden oldies film afternoons.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI love being part of the community and helping those who want to socialise to get out and about,” she enthuses.<\/p>\n

“We also have a communal greenhouse where we grow and share all our produce with each other. It\u2019s a lovely way to keep busy and meet new people.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also finds time to volunteer for two charities helping people recovering from strokes and with sight problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cHomeshore House is the perfect place to live, not only because the surroundings and gardens are immaculate with trees dotted everywhere but I\u2019ve got the downs on one side and the sea on the other,” she explains. It’s convenient for getting out and about too.<\/p>\n

“Right outside is a bus stop which means I can easily get into Brighton and Eastbourne.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about renting in retirement, Jean says: \u201cWe used to own a lovely house but maintaining it was getting harder. We also wanted to free up some money so we could help our son with a deposit for his own place. I now have a worry-free life and if something needs fixing its sorted very quickly with no stress to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

She concludes, \u201cWhen my husband and I started our search we looked around and talked to many different companies but found My Future Living the most helpful and the easiest to deal with. I would highly recommend renting in retirement. It\u2019s a fantastic way of life with no worries. What\u2019s not to love?\u201d<\/p>\n
