Understanding your retirement needs and preferences

Making the decision — key steps to choosing your ideal retirement village

2. Assess amenities and servicesEnsure the village meets your lifestyle needs. Check whether they offer a comprehensive tour of their amenities and services so you can get a taste of what life would be like there. Make sure their top priority is ensuring you can enjoy your retirement years with like-minded people and do the things you love most.
