Embracing the Great British Summer: My Future Living Helps Residents Make the Most of the Season

As the days grow longer and the weather warms up, residents renting with My Future Living are making the most of the Great British summer by taking part in a host of outdoor events and social activities to support their wellbeing, connection and fun.

Retirement rental specialists, My Future Living is helping older people enjoy the summer months in safe, welcoming environments. With no home maintenance to worry about, residents are free to focus on staying active, meeting friends and enjoying everything the season has to offer.

According to Age UK*, more than a million older people in the UK say they often feel lonely. My Future Living aims to tackle this by offering a supportive community where residents can socialise in the summer months when getting outdoors has a real impact on mental and physical health.

Joanne Couch, Director of Finance and Operations, My Future Living says: “Summer is a time for connection and activity, and at My Future Living, our residents truly embrace it. Our apartments are in purpose built developments with communal areas including gardens to encourage people to enjoy a vibrant social life, in outdoor spaces and planned events that bring people together.”

Ann Gardner, 75, and her eight-year-old dog Harry, moved to a rental apartment in Homefarris House in Shaftesbury. Ann comments: “With regular activities like Scrabble, coffee mornings, Friday lunches, and art classes, there’s always something to look forward to.”

Residents renting in My Future Living’s apartments can enjoy all the benefits that outdoor space brings in the summer — from improved wellbeing through regular social contact and gentle activity, to increased Vitamin D from spending more time in the sunshine.

Frances Carr, 69 and another happy resident at Magnolia Grange says: “There’s no loneliness here because we’re all in it together. In the summer, we sit outside in the garden, drink wine, and chat late into the evening.”

With loneliness and isolation still affecting many older people, My Future Living is showing how renting in retirement can offer more than just a new home, it also provides a vibrant, supportive and social lifestyle.
