What’s inside this guide?

Moving into a retirement village, but baffled by all the accommodation choices? This guide gives you the lowdown on the different retirement living options and what each one involves.

It also provides answers to some common questions like who mows the lawns and looks after external maintenance (we do); can you bring your own furniture and belongings (yes, of course you can, this is your home); and is there a charge to move from independent living to independent living with support (there’s no charge to move from an independent living unit to a serviced apartment within Metlifecare villages).
