Often mistakenly confused with care homes, retirement living schemes have notable differences. For example, there is a modern, aspirational feel to retirement living. From reception rooms, restaurants, bistros, libraries and lounges, you really get the reflection of a modern hotel which makes it a great place to meet up with neighbours or family to grab a bite to eat or simply relax with a coffee and a book.

Unlike care homes, you live independently in your own space. Whether you rent, buy or opt for shared ownership, you have that freedom and comfort to know you have control of your own lifestyle, just with the option of additional care. The best schemes even offer 24-hour on-site care and offer emergency call systems to give residents and their families peace of mind.
