Category Lifestyle

For most people, when you think about what you want from your retirement home, there are a few common denominators on the list of musts. Security, peace of mind, community, attractive surroundings and comfortable homes are all close to the top of the list. With this in mind, it's no surprise that Wilgers Retirement Village in Willow Park Manor is a favourite among those looking to retire in Pretoria. The CSi Property Group has been selling and renting out sectional title units in Wilgers Retirement Village for years and we're here to provide the full lowdown of what's on offer.

A wide range of on-site amenities

When you move into a retirement home, you'll naturally expect life to become far more convenient than ever before, and Wilgers Retirement Village does not disappoint. A shuttle service will take you to local shops twice a week and the dining room is open daily to make cooking a thing of the past for those who want it to be. There's an on-site hair and beauty salon offering a vast selection of treatments, meaning that looking and feeling your best doesn't necessitate leaving home.

A fully secure environment

As you enter your golden years, there are two types of security that you need to be concerned about. Firstly, you need to be sure that your home is well secured against intruders. Secondly, you need to be sure that help will be at hand if you have a fall or need medical care. Wilgers Retirement Village has you covered on both fronts.

The village has a central control room that monitors security and an armed response company is on contract to provide backup if there is any security breach. The entire village perimeter is secured with wall-top electrified fences and a network of cameras provides coverage of your home and its surroundings. You can therefore be assured that your home is safe at all times.

Wilgers Retirement Village has a two-pronged approach to personal safety. On the one hand, the management team believes that residents should have the privilege of living and being cared for in their own homes for as long as possible. Residents can thus arrange home care and assisted living through an on-site nursing sister. When the time comes for a higher level of care, the highly skilled and experienced staff at Wilgers Retirement Village's fully-equipped frail care centre will meet your needs.

Over and above this, the on-site doctors' consulting rooms mean that your day-to-day medical needs can be taken care of within the comfort of home. There's also a resident nursing sister who takes care of everyday matters from injections and blood pressure tests to basic wound care.

Comfortable, beautiful homes

Everyone who's looking to buy or rent a home in a retirement village has one thing in common: they're looking to enjoy a simpler way of life. However, that may be where the similarities end. While some retirees may want a one-bedroom apartment, others may need more space. Wilgers Retirement Village caters for everybody and the options include one and two-bedroom apartments as well as two and three-bedroom houses.

An excellent cleaning and gardening team keeps the village looking pristine both inside and out. The complex was specifically designed for active, vibrant people and there are plenty of tree-lined streets and grassy parks where you can enjoy a daily walk or cycle. Comfortable benches dotted around the complex mean there's always somewhere to sit and relax or catch up with a friend while enjoying some fresh air.

If taking a stroll around the gardens every day isn't enough exercise for you, there are plenty of sporting facilities close to home for residents of Wilgers Retirement Village. You can enjoy a game of tennis at Murrayfield or Meyerspark Tennis Club or play a round of golf at Woodhill or Silver Lakes Golf Course.

Aptly described as "a little piece of paradise in Pretoria East", Wilgers Retirement Village offers an outstanding way of life. To find out more, view the properties for sale or to rent in Wilgers Retirement Village.
