The importance of community during retirement
April 23rd, 2020
When you retire, it is important to have a good community of people around you. If you are considering downsizing or moving somewhere a little more peaceful, then a park home offers the perfect community lifestyle, which comes with a number of benefits. Here are some of the reasons why park home living provides the important community aspect of living to those who are retired.
Social interactions with likeminded people
During retirement, it is important to find and connect with people who share your interests. Sparking new friendships is crucial for long-term happiness and fulfilment.
At Riverside Park you will have lots of opportunities for discussions and social activities. The 50+ restriction means that you can once again re-live that proper, communal feeling of times gone by. Everybody looks out for one another and you’ll never struggle to find good conversation. We’ve got a fantastic community and everyone is so friendly and looks out for one another.
What’s more, everybody who lives in the park has one main thing in common, they want to live out their retirement in a relaxing, luxurious place with people who are just like them. Many of our current residents love the fact that this 50+ community is full of like-minded individuals.
Staying active
The benefits of staying socially engaged both physically and mentally in your senior years are huge. After retirement, it’s important to remain fit and healthy. You can do this by going for walks and exploring your neighbourhood, joining groups or checking out the local community centres. You can even give back to the community by volunteering, which also allows you to have a chat with all the members of the local area, so it’s a great way to socialise.
Riverside Park sits on the edge River Weaver, which is the ideal location to take a calming stroll or brisk walk along. It is also within easy walking distance of a lovely community-run café, an Age UK, and Brightlife, which is a fantastic lottery-funded project which aims to tackle loneliness and isolation in the 50+ community.
Secure social community
When you move someplace new, you will want to know that your home is in a safe and secure setting. Park homes are often set on secure, gated estates which brings peace of mind to residents. If you go away for the weekend, or jet of for a long break, you can rest assured that your home is protected while you are away.
Along with this, the neighbourly sense of community means that everyone looks out for one another. At Riverside Park, there is always someone around, whether that be a site manager or another resident, so you won’t have to worry about feeling unsafe or alone.
