Now is a great time to research retirement villages
Retirement villages may have physically shut their doors during lockdown, but they are still open for online enquiries. Being at home is a great time to collect information from sales managers, so you can begin to collate, read, and compare information about different villages.
What are the benefits of contacting a sales manager?
Sales managers are village advocates, not pushy salespeople. Their primary goal is to provide information and guidance about retirement village living. They offer a wealth of information and their role is to help you make an informed decision. It’s important to them that you make the right choice for your lifestyle and that you’re happy with your decision.
In addition to knowledge about available homes, a sales manager can also inform you about:
  • How the village operates
  • Who currently lives there
  • The types of activities and facilities on offer
  • The types of services and care offered

Most villages are still sending out digital information packs via email during the lockdown period.

Schedule a time to speak to a sales manager

Once you’ve looked through the information, it’s likely you’ll have questions. Although you can’t speak to a sales manager in person, most sales managers are still available over the phone or via video meeting. Here’s a recommended list of questions to ask the sales manager.
