| Annotation | The experiences are investigated of 12 people living independently in a retirement village in New Zealand. Their experiences were examined discursively with interviews being conducted and transcribed to form the data. Discursive analysis revealed two key discourses. The discourses of companionship and privacy suggested that both were important in a retirement village, requiring as they do the careful management of relationships. The discourse of security suggested that the retirement village offered a worry-free environment where residents were able to relax security measures that were burdensome in the wider community.
