In the past the general perception of retirement was to work until reaching the age of 65, this meant going from a very active lifestyle to one of what to do during the days ahead. For some people this can be very hard to adjust too, not having to get up and go to work everyday. With retirement villages like Maygrove you are able to have a semi retirement lifestyle.
