The Checklist: For Your Retirement Home

Security: It is crucial to have a security system in place with burglar alarms and emergency response systems in buildings. Also, a watchman, if you’re living in a society with proper tracking of visitors makes it a much safer place to live in old age.

Factor in Travel Plans: If you’re someone who plans to take regular trips to visit children and grandchildren, consider how far your new location will be from other family members. A spot that is several hours away from close relatives by car might mean you’ll want a reliable, comfortable vehicle to travel in. For frequent, longer trips, investigate the flight prices and options in the area. “If you plan to travel a lot, take quick trips here and there or simply want your family to be able to come to visit without a hassle, it’s important that you live somewhere with an airport nearby,” Smith says.

Safe designs: Look for an apartment where you can make specific changes. For instance, installing handlebars across the bathrooms, anti-skid tiles, or low-height shelves. Ensure you’ve auto controls and small enabled home devices which come in handy.

Accessibility to medical care: Do ensure that the project has a hospital or a clinic close by. Proper medical facilities are of extreme importance at your old age and thus the nearest Ambulance should be a phone call away and should be able to pick you in 15-20 mins during an emergency if arises.
