Choosing to either stay in your current home or move into a retirement community is a big decision that requires a lot of thought and planning.

No matter if it is independent living or the added benefit of assisted living services that you require, a retirement community may be the perfect fit for you and your evolving needs. Whether you are looking for a more manageable home, an opportunity to meet new like-minded people or, you just fancy a fresh start in a new environment with a wide range of interesting activities, Richmond Villages provides it all. So many of our residents tell us they wish they’d moved to our villages sooner, so here are just a few of the many benefits to moving to a retirement community.

1) Low maintenance - moving to a retirement community removes all concerns around the upkeep of your home and helps you focus on what’s important – enjoying your retirement. You can choose how much help you require, we can take care of your housekeeping, laundry and even your meals if you want us too - you are in control!

2) Peace of mind that you are always safe - with 24/7 emergency buttons in your apartment, transportation on-hand when you need it and a wealth of care professionals on your doorstep, you can rest assured that you or your loved one’s safety is paramount to what we do.

3) Become part of a welcoming community among likeminded individuals – a wonderful opportunity to create memories with new friends.

4) Great food - with expert chefs whipping up a storm in the kitchen, you can enjoy delicious, nutritionally balanced dishes every day.

5) A bustling schedule of events and activities to take part in – they say variety is the spice of life and that’s why we pride ourselves on catering to a whole spectrum of interests from fitness classes and meditation to art exhibitions and visits from professional speakers. 

6)You are never alone – there’s no need to worry about spending Christmas without company, within our villages you’re always part of the family.

7) Outstanding on-site facilities - you’re just a stone’s throw away from state-of-the-art amenities such as our nail and hair salons, fitness studios and our luxury Wellness Spa which is available at five of our locations, complete with a tranquil swimming pool and specialised fitness equipment.

8) The freedom to travel – now that you are free from the commitments of work and childcare, your later years are a perfect time to travel to those places you’ve always dreamed of visiting. Living in a retirement village means you can do this with the peace of mind that your property will be well looked after by our village team in your absence.

9) Help if you need it - we know that circumstances can change, that’s why our villages each have a dedicated domiciliary care team, providing care and support in the comfort of your own home should you need it.

10) Stylish homes - perfectly sized and beautifully presented, our one- and two-bedroom properties offer everything you need to live a happy, fulfilled life. No more clutter, no more rooms untouched, simply a home that’s sized perfectly for you.

But don’t take our word for it! John Calvert, a resident at our Wood Norton Village shared his experience so far:

“There’s a very wide range of activities here, it does everything! You can have your laundry done, they shop for you, they have chefs that cook for you, and you can either dine in your room or in the restaurant. “Because of my limitations, it has an appropriate provision of services that I need in order to keep going independently. They also have a wide cross-section of activities you can choose between – it’s like freshers at university!"

Sound like heaven? Almost! Our villages are situated in a range of desirable locations across the country, from the glorious Cotswolds to the picturesque South Cheshire countryside. With rental and shared ownership options available, Richmond Villages really can cater for all needs.
