Moving home is generally an exhausting and disruptive process, but even more so for the elderly.  That’s why we always advise our clients to consider the concept of “aging in place” when deciding where to live. You need to take a long-term view and ensure that your home will accommodate your changing needs over time.  Staying put in the family home may be fine while they’re fit and healthy, but what happens if they suddenly become ill, impaired or incapacitated?  Having to move home or relocate under these circumstances can be particularly traumatic – both for retirees and their families. 

Retirement villages, like those in the Evergreen portfolio, offers residents the advantage of being able to live independently in a freestanding home while they are able to, with the option further down the line of transferring to an apartment, assisted living suite, or even a frail-care unit, within the same village, should their health deteriorate.
