Retirement living advice for families
If you think your loved one may benefit from retirement living, we can help. Our tools and guidance – and caring advisors – will equip you to support them in making the right decision.
Helping a parent move to retirement living
Have your parents asked you for advice about moving to a retirement property? Or perhaps you’ve noticed a loved one – or friend – is struggling in their current home and you need to talk to them about it? Supporting people in making a move to a retirement living community is a big responsibility, but we’re here to help you - to help them - make the right decision.
We have decades of experience in everything from making moving less stressful and financial planning to suggesting the right level of lifestyle and personal support to give your loved one an easier, more enjoyable, retirement.

The benefits of retirement living for loved ones and their families
Our communities don’t just offer a better life for homeowners. The mix of independence and support provides peace of mind for family too.
Whether you’re hoping your parents will move closer to help with grandchildren or are persuading them to future-proof their lives so they stay independent for longer, we can help you to find a place your parents are proud to call home - with extra lifestyle support on offer should they need it.
Your loved one will benefit from:
- A beautiful new home – that is warm, safe and simpler to look after and contains clever adaptations to make their life easier now and in future.
- Support to make moving in easier – including specialist removals and part exchange offers
- Lifestyle and personal support – from friendly managers and emergency alarms to our award-winning Lifestyle Services.
- Welcoming shared spaces – stunning gardens with seating for sunny days and cosy lounges for coffee and chats every day.
- A friendly community – with optional events, clubs and activities on tap.
You and the family will benefit from:
- Peace of mind – knowing your loved one is enjoying an easier life on their terms but has help on hand if they ever need it
- Future-proofing – clever adaptations and flexible support services mean they’ll be able to stay in their new home for longer.
- A warm welcome when you visit – we love welcoming friends and family - including children – into our communities and our hotel-style guest suites make overnight stays simple too.
- Knowing they’re not lonely – you may find their social life quickly becomes better than yours!
She’s like a different person. We’re so happy with the decision we made as a family – McCarthy & Stone supports her in every way she needs it to. We invite her to dinner as often as we can but she always seems to get a better offer!
