The Retirement Living Handbook covers all of the important aspects of moving to a retirement community from selling your home and finding the right retirement community to the different forms of legal contract and financial arrangements and the impacts on pension entitlement and eligibility for rent assistance. To put all of the concepts into a real life context there are more than a dozen case studies from real Australian retirement communities. And to top it all off there is a directory of over 1,000 retirement communities broken down by lifestyle with an easy to read lexicon of features and facilities to help people find the community that best suits them.
