“The life right concept is attractive for the older person, who may have neither the desire nor the ability to maintain a property,” that sectional title, freehold and share block developers cannot match. Following an investment by PSG Alpha Investments of R675 million into Evergreen Lifestyle, numerous new villages have been delivered and are planned. The company is behind some of South Africa’s most iconic retirement communities in the Western Cape and Gauteng - with new villages coming to KwaZulu-Natal and Port Elizabeth. “Along with the financial benefits, a Life Right guarantees a safe and secure home for the remainder of one’s natural life, with the added benefits of resort-style facilities, top security features, a fully-managed and maintained environment along with health care facilities that typically include 24-hour nursing, recuperative palliative care, and frail care,” explains Bedeker. The facilities cover a range of activities, all geared to enhance the residents’ lives – sporting amenities such as bowling greens, gyms and heated swimming pools; cultural stimulation at art and photographic clubs; and medical facilities for those who need assistance. The Life Right Model is a welcome addition to the options available for acquiring a retirement home as it also delivers peace of mind and freedom from financial worry. With transparent levies, and tenure guaranteed for life, the prospect of living longer is no longer cause for anxiety.
