Portugal's premier senior (50+) solution provider: quality accommodation and property options combined activities, services and retirement choices. Senior living communities, designed for the 50+ market and with long-term or permanent residents in mind, have long been popular in markets such as the US and Australia. Urban retirement villages have seen phenomenal growth in the UK. The choice of the Algarve as the location for retirement living is linked to the region being voted for almost a decade as the World's Best Place to Retire, and the region’s popularity among retirees. Algarve Senior Living is a provider of a broad range of services and solutions for the senior market. To date the retirement model in the sun has been linked exclusively to real estate sales. Algarve Senior Living, via its choice of try-before-you-decide, long-term or permanent rentals, rent-before-you-buy or targeted sales of age-appropriate properties (typically close to amenities, single floor or with good access, and in a community or close to other people), is reinventing senior living and rethinking retirement. Clients will be able to rent a property for a winter stay or as their permanent year-round residence. Residents will be able to confirm whether a permanent move is really what they seek, whether the country and its culture is for them, if the services provided are adequate and importantly, if they can make new friends. Active seniors will be able to work from home, and family will be able to visit. A range of activities is available, allowing people to use their spare time effectively and to meet other people with similar interests. A range of medical services packages, including nursing, physiotherapy, doctor and pharmacist access, is on offer, and although we tend to cater mainly for the active independent market, we now have a partnership with a leading regional private care home solution, which is also appropriate for convalescing seniors who do not wish to move permanently. We also work with domiciliary care providers. Food & beverage options are varied and include on-site restaurants in several locations, or proximity to local restaurants and grocery stores in most of our independently-run options. New residents in Portugal will benefit from favourable legislation including the ability to pay low tax on pensions for a period of 10 years. The fact that residents will not have to sell real estate at home, and with the cost of living in Mediterranean countries significantly lower than in Northern Europe, means that pensions will go further and any equity released from homes can be used for health or for better quality of life, rather than as a deposit on real estate. With many people still unaware of this benefit for retirees from a range of countries and nationalities, and with a the first cases of the Non Habitual Resident status now benefiting from their saving, we partner with specialist law firms and advisers in this area. We also assist those looking to apply for residence under the D7, Golden visa or D2 programs. Algarve Senior Living looks forward to welcoming both winter stay and long-term residents to its growing list of locations.
