This study examined how the day-to-day experiences of 112 participants living in 12 different New Zealand retirement villages influenced their lifestyle and quality of life. Although acknowledging some limitations of this type of living, the participants refuted what they deemed to be a public perception that these places are enclaves for the aged and detract from positive active aging. Rather they described how their respective village provided an endless array of opportunities to rekindle old skills and become involved in new ones. It was claimed this helped contribute to a “Culture of Rejuvenation”-the theme for the results presented in this article. Many of the participants spoke of how since relocating to a retirement village they had found a more definite purpose to their lives. Irrespective of their state of well-being they felt valued members of a secure and supportive community and this helped develop a genuine sense of belonging. It was evident these qualities enhanced one's identity and quality of life. |
