Shire Retirement Properties

Shire Retirement Properties Shire is an Independent retirement property & services consultancy in the W/Cape www.shireprop.com

Shire Retirement Properties (Pty) Ltd (Shire) is based in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Shire addresses various aspects of senior living and care, focusing on retirement villages, care centres, and private homes. While Shire is particularly interested in life-rights communities, it also prioritises all forms of senior communities, including the increasingly popular multigenerational c

ommunities. Shire is actively researching and developing software solutions tailored for senior communities, care service providers, seniors, and their families and friends. Recently, Shire has shifted its focus toward lower-income seniors and how they are affected by insufficient service delivery and government funding. Shire plans to develop training courses for managers and service providers within senior communities in the future. Shire remains actively involved in advising real estate developers, operators, and owners of senior estates. Additionally, it continues to consult to care service providers, senior community management agents, and nonprofit organisations in the older person sector.

SA People News: “South Africa is hurtling towards a major demographic transition. Driven by declining fertility rates and improved life expectancy, the proportion of persons aged 60 and older is projected to rise sharply from 10.5% in 2025 to 16.2% of the national population by 2050.”

South Africa’s older population is projected to double by 2050, and this shift will stretch the Old Age Grant and place pressure on working-age citizens.
