Think of the word senior citizen and most of us picture a wrinkled old man with a pair of spectacles and a book in hand, sitting on a rocking chair. Today’s reality is far from true, at least for most of those in their 60s and even 70s. Senior citizens of today are relatively more educated, economically stable, health conscious and passionate about life. Often, they are professionals who would have had active careers in their younger years and now wish to exit from their hectic schedules to pursue their passions. So what they need is not just food and accommodation but much more in terms of facilities, security, comfort, peer group, engagements and activities.

Most people today, look forward to their post-retirement phase

Post retirement today is not what it used to be a few decades ago. Back those days, a majority of them retired at 58 or 60. Most had few opportunities to pursue their passion and family responsibilities consumed much of their time. When you look at the scenario today, most would be looking forward to retirement as it's better planned and you have things you wish to do. This is the time for you to pursue your passions - reading, gardening, socialising, painting, singing, travelling or just about anything you’ve always wanted to do, but didn’t have the time for.

Of course, it’s also a phase when you need to pay attention to your health, get the right diet, exercise and focus on stress-free living. You definitely wish to free yourself from mundane things such as property upkeep, day-to-day tasks, taxes etc. You need time for healthcare and diet and definitely a peer group that shares your interests to keep you engaged.

Choosing a retirement community. What to look for.

With the market for such dwellings growing, every project with a roof and water supply, calls itself a retirement community promising the moon. That’s where you need to do your research and gather information. Well-designed retirement communities offer you a carefully crafted ecosystem that assures you of luxury, comfort, conveniences including modern amenities, proximity to the city, and more importantly a vibrant peer group that motivates you to do things you’ve always wanted to. You need to be energised, engaged and freed from the regular responsibilities so you can do things you want to.
