Imagine a place where luxury, comfort, and care come together in a harmonious environment, specifically designed for seniors who want to spend their golden years in style.
A place where every detail is meticulously taken care of. From a personal chef preparing delicious and healthy meals daily, to an exclusive restaurant and beautifully maintained gardens. Here, help is always available for those who need it, without compromising the feeling of independence. This is not just any care facility; this is a co-living care villa, a home for life.
Ageing population
Europe is ageing rapidly. According to Eurostat, the proportion of people aged 65 and over in the European population increased from 17.5% in 2010 to 20.8% in 2021. This trend is expected to continue, and by 2050, nearly 30% of the European population will be over 65. This demographic shift presents significant challenges, particularly in the areas of elderly care and housing.
The rise of new care solutions
The growing demand for elderly care has led to the emergence of new care solutions. People are looking for forms that not only provide medical support but also cater to the needs and desires of an ageing population accustomed to a higher standard of living and more comfort, which they wish to maintain in their later years. Traditional elderly care no longer meets these expectations.
Luxury senior co-living villa’s
In this context, a new trend from the United States is gaining ground among wealthy seniors: ‘luxury senior living communities’ or co-living villas. These highly luxurious facilities, often located in large estates, focus on personalised care in a refined, comfortable environment. In Spain, many Northern European retirees spend their retirement years. Consequently, the demand for high-quality elderly care in a luxurious setting is growing. With its pleasant Mediterranean climate and existing infrastructure for foreign retirees, Spain is ideal for introducing this care option.
What does a senior co-living villa offer?
Co-living villas are specially designed for seniors who want to make the most of their later years. Emphasising luxury, privacy, and a highly personalised approach, they offer not only high-quality living spaces, but also extensive care and wellness facilities provided by skilled professionals. The care is fully tailored to the individual needs of the residents. In addition, wellness programmes such as fitness and recreation contribute to an active and engaged lifestyle.
For whom are senior co-living villas suitable?
Luxury senior living is ideal for people with sufficient retirement savings and income. Active and engaged seniors can benefit from the facilities and services in these communities. Additionally, people with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, as well as those who need help with daily activities, can also thrive in a luxury community that offers assisted living and memory care.
Joint purchase of a co-living care villa
Because senior co-living villas provide everything residents could possibly need, the costs are significantly higher than those of a traditional nursing home. Think of €7,500 per month, all-inclusive, depending on the services provided. For such an amount, co-living villas offer peace of mind to residents and their families, contributing to maintaining quality of life. Many therefore see the choice for a five-star care villa not only as an investment in comfort and quality of life but also in family heritage and legacy.
