Consumer Protection

A village operator must provide a potential resident detailed information about the village. 

Moving to a retirement village is a major lifestyle choice. Visit as many different villages you can before deciding where to live. Not all villages are the same, so do your research to find the one that's right for you. Take your time and do not be rushed into a decision.

Before you start looking:

The decision to move into a retirement village must be seen more as a lifestyle choice for the long term rather than an investment decision.
