AnnotationRetirement village living is a growing housing option for older people. Research to date has focused primarily on the social milieu of the village, with limited attention to the legal and financial obligations associated with this form of specialised housing for older people. Using data from a pilot survey of 312 Australian residents, this article suggests while residents place financial and legal obligations at the forefront when considering relocation and during residency, there is variability in professional advice and constraints on choices when needs and capacities change. The distinctive obligations associated with retirement village living require greater attention, to ensure an informed lifestyle decision. (RH).
