The secret to a happy retirement revealed with Adlington in Yorkshire
The positive difference that moving to a retirement living community can make to your quality of life might be one of life’s best kept secrets.
Imagine a dream lifestyle, where the everyday jobs are taken care of by somebody else, you’re surrounded by friends, and you’re free to spend your time enjoying life, doing more of the things you love, that’s the reality for homeowners at The Spindles on Bradford Road, Menston.
Homeowner, Joyce, immediately felt at home “I love it. The day I moved in I sat out on my balcony and thought this is absolute bliss – and I have never stopped thinking that.”
Time for a new chapter?
As autumn draws in, dread can start to rise; cleaning out gutters, storm damage repairs, and the inevitable isolation that awaits dark winter days dawns.
When you move to an Adlington Retirement Living community, you can enjoy a fresh start, with more fun and less to worry about, all year round.
With a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments for sale it’s a community designed for those who want to enjoy modern, stylish living in a safe and secure environment.
Ann and her husband Harry have been loving life since their move “You don’t have any worries; it’s like being on holiday every day. We have a gardening group, take-away nights, pétanque, a book club, film and games nights.”
Anne wanted to continue to live life to the full: “I could have moved in with one of my children, but I wanted to keep my independence and keep my relationship with my children a happy one, which it is. Now we enjoy the time that we spend together.”
Discover a community with a zest for life
In addition to making life more fun, staying socially active in retirement is also really good for you.
According to ARCO, the independent body that sets standards for retirement communities, when they move to a retirement community:
· Homeowners experience a 75% increase in the amount of exercise done, and a reduction in falls within two years.
· Their mental health and well-being improves, with a 24% decrease in anxiety symptoms among owners and residents, and only 1% saying they often feel isolated.
· Average unplanned hospital stays go down from 8-14 days to 1-2 days.
Becoming part of a thriving community can make a huge difference. Trevor, a retired doctor, who moved last year, said: “I’m more socially active here than I have been for a long time. I’d become totally isolated and an old curmudgeon! I am so pleased I came. I’ve got back to my normal self and I’ve made some good friends. I think one of the big benefits of moving to a retirement community is the stimulus of other people at this time of life.”
Why wait until tomorrow, when you can enjoy life today
More homeowners are choosing to move when they’re fit and well, to future-proof their retirement.
Margaret, who moved with her husband John, said: “I was thinking of the future when we bought here, but actually we’re really enjoying the present. The people here are such good company and we all get on very well.”
Pat and Michael, who spent 41 years in their family home, have also been pleasantly surprised: “We knew we’d enjoy it, but we didn’t think it was going to be as good as this. It’s everything that we expected and more.”
