Sunny weather is enough to lift anyone’s mood, but too much heat exposure is not good for anyone. This is especially true for older people, whose bodies are less equipped to deal with the scorching temperatures! Brave the sunshine without the right protection, and you could suffer from heatstroke or other heat-related illnesses.

Apartment Owner Sheila Davis is loving the independence and peace of mind since her move to Churchill Living’s Harington Lodge development in Chichester.

In retirement, you have more time than ever to pursue passions that got buried by work duties. Did you always have an itch to learn a musical instrument? Well now’s the time to do it! With so many different instruments to choose from, each presenting a different level of challenge (we won’t judge if you choose triangle), you’re never too old to learn something new!
Without the regular routine and challenge of work, you might find yourself becoming a tad forgetful in your retirement years. Don’t panic - memory loss is a normal part of aging, and it’s not an irreversible process! There are loads of ways that you can boost your brain power, while having a ton of fun in the process.
As we age, looking after your skin is more important than ever. Older skin is more sensitive to damage, wrinkles and even skin-related diseases if you don’t protect yourself. Focusing on skin care in your 60s will have you looking and feeling great in your later years, and it’s never too late to start!
As we get deeper into the summer months, it’s nearly time for you to dust off your sun lotion and enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors. There’s nothing like sunshine and warm weather to lift your mood, and inspire you to get out living your retirement years to the full. But getting outside isn’t just fun - it also has plenty of health benefits for people in their retirement years.
As you start to get older, you can start to imagine what your life will be like once you hang up your working boots for good. But before you can look ahead to a life of hammocks and relaxation, you first have to decide between owning or renting your retirement home! So, is it better to own or rent in retirement? We’ve rounded up some of the major factors that you should consider.
