Riverstone takes on the Agenda Festival 2024

Share:

Recent projections indicate that by 2025, approximately 14.3 million individuals in the UK will be aged over 65, signalling a growing demand for later living communities.

In the United States and Australia, the concept of purchasing homes in later living communities has been embraced for decades, reflecting a nuanced understanding of a different way of living for older adults. Later Living is gradually gaining traction in the UK, with more developments focusing on creating homes that foster a strong sense of community while supporting independence with exceptional facilities.

Integrated Retirement Communities (IRCs) are at the forefront of this movement, offering a unique environment where residents can live independently while enjoying the benefits of communal living without the hassle of home maintenance. Contrary to common misconceptions, retirement communities like Riverstone provide residents with the freedom to embrace new opportunities and pursue their passions without compromising on support, security or lifestyle.

One notable advocate for the later living sector is the Agenda Festival, an annual event dedicated to empowering and entertaining discerning audiences over the age of 55. As the only later living festival in London, the Agenda Festival serves as a platform for informed decision-making and enjoyment, celebrating vitality and adventure in later life.

Riverstone has proudly supported the Agenda Festival since its inception, with friendly team members on hand to engage with guests and showcase the benefits of later living at our residences at both Fulham and Kensington. We had the pleasure of meeting many individuals exploring their options for the future, reinforcing our commitment to complimenting active and enjoyable lifestyles in retirement.

As society continues to redefine retirement, events like the Agenda Festival play a crucial role in highlighting the diverse opportunities available to those over 65. At Riverstone, we are dedicated to our residents to ensuring they have everything they need live life to the fullest without any of the hassle.
