The Retirement Villages story

Retirement Villages Group Ltd has been developing and managing purpose built, retirement communities throughout the UK since 1981.

Inspired originally by American lifestyle developments, often built around golf courses and extensive leisure facilities, the idea was adapted to meet the very different needs of the UK market.

Since then, the concept has continued to evolve with living options and care offerings being extended through development, acquisition and expansion.

There are now 14 Retirement Villages’ sites in choice locations across the country, with a further 5 committed new sites located primarily in the South East and plans to add more.

Retirement Villages’ developments have consistently won recognition within the industry, receiving national accolades at all the major property events as well as prizes for it’s outstanding landscaping and gardens. The company’s expertise in care continues to be acknowledged with a number of staff nominated for national awards every year.
