Simple financial setup - no hidden costs

We want you to live a happy and fulfilled life in your new home. For some, that might mean a helping hand from time to time. Hear how this reassures you.

- for a healthy and happy lifestyle

So you’ve decided where you’re going to live. You’ve taken care of your finances. But one thing you may not have planned for is the free time on your hands. Here’s a snippet of the wellness activities that help you to thrive in your new environment:

Gardening

Some of our courts have their own green-fingered committee. If you love to relax by getting your hands dirty in the great outdoors, join up and have a go.

Themed meal nights

What’s your favourite food? Maybe you’re thinking of a good old English roast dinner. A hearty Italian dish. Or an aromatic spread of Spanish tapas. Our themed meal nights, usually based around an international event, are great fun for everyone.

Music, art and games

It’s never too late to learn something new. Pick up a paintbrush and join an art class. Sign-up to a singing group and fill the air with your dulcet tones! Or roll the jack and enjoy a game of crown-green bowls with friends.

Day trips

Some days are meant for a catch-up over coffee and a look around a garden centre. Others are for stretching your legs further afield with a sightseeing trip to a famous landmark. Plan something yourself or go with the flow - the choice is yours.

Find a court

Maybe you want to stay local. Or you’d like to try somewhere new. There are 32 Retirement Security courts dotted around the country so explore the map, or use the search bar, to find a place convenient for you.

Services

that help you live your best life

Here’s a snapshot of the services provided at our courts. Most are covered in the monthly fee, with some coming at a small extra cost.

Help and support

You might not need us - and that’s fine. But for added peace of mind, or a just-in-case scenario, someone will always be available to speak to or visit you at home.

Cleaning

Each court provides residents with 1.5 hours of weekly cleaning (or other support). So put your feet up, and let our wonderful team of housekeepers keep your home sparkly clean.

Home improvement

We understand that you’ll want to put your own stamp on your new home. Whether it’s a lick of paint or a new kitchen, let us know and we’ll help you make the arrangements.

Gardening

Where a court doesn’t have its own garden committee, the service charge pays for contract gardeners to take care of the beautiful lawns and flower displays. So all you have to do is admire the view.

Meet Melanie

I only wish my parents could have benefited from this magical lifestyle in their later years."

Hello, I’m Melanie, the CEO of Retirement Security.

What’s struck me in the many years I’ve worked within this industry is how much happier people in their later years are when they retain their independence and have fun!

I’m passionate about those living in our Courts feeling the same way.

This is not just ‘work’ for me - it’s personal. My parents didn’t have the opportunity to live independently within an active, supportive community. I only wish they could have benefited from this magical lifestyle in their later years.

And that’s what drives me. I’m committed to making sure that everyone has the chance to enjoy later living. To be treated with dignity and respect. To be offered every opportunity to live independently - with support, where needed.

It’s proven that community living takes away the potential for loneliness. That having someone around who cares, and is caring, makes a difference. This is what I want for everyone that lives in our Courts - including you.

I wish you all the best in your search for a place you can call home.

Best wishes,

Melanie Gowers, CEO
