Why Kirkley Gardens Could Be the Answer to a Better Life at 55+

As we age, our living needs change as well. With our families all grown up and our work winding down, the idea of downsizing to a retirement community starts to become more and more appealing. 

But the thought of leaving behind our old homes and starting anew can be quite daunting. This is where an independent living village, like Kirkley Gardens, comes in. 

Let’s explore why an independent living village could be the answer to a better life.

Enjoy an Active Lifestyle

Independent living villages, like Kirkley Gardens, are designed to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle.  You can take part in a variety of group activities like exercise classes, craft workshops, and movie days to keep your mind and body engaged. 

There are also plenty of outdoor spaces, such as our beautiful gardens, to keep you active and enjoying the fresh air. Social events like barbeques, game nights and holiday parties also provide opportunities for you to socialise and make new friends.

No More Home Maintenance

One of the best things about an independent living village is that you don’t have to worry about home maintenance. No more mowing the lawn, fixing the plumbing, or painting the walls. 

All of the maintenance and repairs are taken care of by our fabulous handyman and gardeners, leaving you with more free time to enjoy your hobbies and interests. And it’s included in your monthly maintenance fee, which is reviewed annually in December. 

Independence and Privacy

Living at Kirkley Gardens allows for social interaction and activities, as well as offering independence and privacy. 

You’ll have your own villa with all the amenities, such as a kitchen, bathroom and & laundry, bedrooms, living space, and more. And of course a garage. 

Our villas have been designed so you look out to gardens and not into someone else’s window. At the same time your neighbours are close enough that they’ll become fast friends. 

This means you can still maintain your daily routines and personal space while having the option to participate in community activities whenever you’d like. It’s the best of both worlds.

A Sense of Community

Living in a retirement village offers a sense of community that can be hard to find elsewhere. At Kirkley Gardens, you’ll be surrounded by people who are at the same stage in life as you are, and you’ll have ample opportunities to make friends and build relationships. 

This is also a great option for those who may have lost a spouse or partner and are looking for a supportive community to belong to.

When you live at Kirkley Gardens, you will be surrounded by people who share similar interests and lifestyles. There will be plenty of opportunities to socialise and connect with others, whether it be through organised activities, clubs, or events. You will be introduced to many new friends who can become your support system for years to come.

Flexible Living Options

Living in an independent living retirement village grants you the freedom to come and go as you please, with the assurance that your villa will be taken care of even in your absence. 

This means you can fully enjoy your time away, whether it’s exploring new destinations, visiting loved ones, or embarking on exciting adventures, knowing that your home is in capable hands. 

How good is the peace of mind that comes with knowing your villa is well-maintained? It really adds an extra layer of comfort and relaxation to your retirement lifestyle.

Staying independent

Staying independent and active is important for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being as we age. 

Living at an independent living village like Kirkley Gardens provides the perfect balance of support and independence to make the most out of your retirement years. 

With a focus on community, convenience, and flexibility, there’s no doubt that an independent living village could be the answer to a better life at 55+.
