Making the move to retirement living can feel daunting, but the right insights make all the difference.
Aura Holdings held a panel event with 40 guests considering a life at its retirement village The Ninth, in Middle Ridge, Toowoomba.
Four steps become clear for anyone thinking of the move:
- Legal: Get your affairs in order early, clear wills, powers of attorney and agreements give peace of mind and ease the transition.
- Real Estate: Don’t wait for a perfect market. Understanding the property landscape helps you make informed decisions sooner, so you can enjoy your retirement sooner.
- Downsizing: Approach it as an opportunity to simplify and embrace a lifestyle you want. Start planning early to make the process smoother.
- Financials: Look beyond upfront costs, maintenance-free living, and lifestyle benefits to deliver value that grows over time.
Residents of The Ninth also spoke openly about their own experiences, from the relief of leaving behind home maintenance to the joy of finding connection and community at The Ninth.
“At Aura, we’re committed to building more than just retirement apartments; we create communities where knowledge, connection, and lifestyle come together,” Aura Holdings CEO Sean Graham said.
