If you are in your 50s and 60s you may want a change of scenery or you may feel you are ready for that next step in life, which is retirement. However, deciding on retirement housing is not as simple as you think with a lot depending a lot on your health and what stage of life you’re at. Our apartments are ideal for retirees in their 50s and over, providing housing tailored to your lifestyle. Check out the many options available to you and how you can benefit from the lifestyle on offer.
Staying Put:
Are you content in your current home? It might be just the right size for your needs. However, if your family home feels too large now that the kids have flown the coop, downsizing could be the perfect solution. Downsizing offers not only a more manageable space but also financial benefits, as smaller homes are more affordable to purchase and maintain. Plus, you'll save precious time and energy on household chores!
Downsizing Services:
At Churchill Retirement Living, we understand that transitioning to a smaller space can be daunting. That's why we offer specialized downsizing services to help make the move to our over 50s housing seamless. Start your new chapter with comfort and style.
Retirement Villages:
Looking for convenience in retirement living? Consider buying into retirement housing for those in the over 50 to over 60 age range. These developments offer amenities like dining and leisure facilities, making daily life hassle-free. Whether you choose to buy, rent, or part-buy, you'll enjoy a private apartment alongside communal spaces. Positioned in popular city areas, retirement villages provide easy access to transportation, supermarkets, and recreational venues.
Care Homes:
For individuals with mobility or health concerns, a care home might be the best retirement option. These facilities provide private rooms along with communal spaces, ensuring round-the-clock care including assistance with daily tasks and medication management. Researching the level of care provided is crucial based on your specific needs.

Yes, well-behaved dogs, cats or caged birds are welcome in all our retirement apartments. We simply ask that prior permission be obtained in writing from the Lodge Manager.
