When considering retirement living options, it’s worth noting that a traditional retirement village in Scottburgh may not offer everything you’re looking for. At Renishaw Hills Lifestyle Estate, we’re focused on creating an environment for an active, peaceful, community-rich lifestyle.
Instead of touring a conventional retirement village, you might find that a Lifestyle Estate provides more flexibility, independence, and opportunities to connect with others in a scenic, supportive setting.
To help you evaluate your options and make the best choice for this new chapter of life, here are some essential questions to ask during your tour.
1. What levels of care and support are available?
Many communities offer varying levels of care, from independent living to assisted support. At Renishaw Hills Lifestyle Estate, our approach emphasises an active, independent lifestyle, while still providing accessible healthcare services when needed.

2. What types of activities and social opportunities are offered?
Staying engaged and socially active is essential for a fulfilling retirement. Ask about events, hobby groups, and social gatherings to ensure the community offers activities that align with your interests. Renishaw Hills, for instance, hosts a variety of activities and clubs, from archery to boardgames, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
3. How are maintenance and security handled?
Maintenance and security are key factors for peace of mind in retirement. Inquire about the scope of maintenance services provided and the type of security systems in place. Renishaw Hills offers 24/7 security, with well-maintained facilities to make life hassle-free.
4. Are there any health and wellness facilities on-site?
Having access to health and wellness amenities, such as bicycle, running or walking trails, can significantly enhance quality of life. Renishaw Hills provides plenty of opportunities for physical activity and wellness, making it easy to maintain a healthy lifestyle right on the estate.

5. What are the costs and fees?
It’s essential to understand the financial commitment of moving into a retirement community. Ask for a breakdown of monthly fees, maintenance costs, and any potential additional charges. This will help you gauge whether the community fits within your budget.
6. Can I tour a model unit?
Getting a feel for the living spaces will help you envision life in the community. Touring a model unit at Renishaw Hills provides a closer look at the attention to detail in each home, from the layouts to the finishes.
7. Are there any future development plans?
It’s wise to ask about future expansions or planned improvements that may impact your experience. Learning about upcoming projects can give you a sense of the community’s growth and improvements that could benefit residents.
