Castle View now offering virtual retirement tours

Windsor-based retirement village Castle Village is now offering virtual property tours, highlighting how tours of these kind are becoming increasingly common.

Those considering moving into a retirement village, or looking to help a loved one, can explore the building remotely, from the front door to the lounge, to the choice of apartments, the restaurant, bars and the library.

Lisa Fisher, village manager at Castle View, said: “There’s a lot to think about when the moment comes to consider moving to a retirement home.

“But how it looks and feels is one of the first things to check. Traipsing around lots of different properties can be hard work, so our new virtual tours allow prospective residents to do some early leg work without getting in the car, particularly at the moment during the Coronavirus lockdown.

“Obviously, there’s nothing better than then coming to take a closer look, and we also offer ‘Try before you Buy’, so you really can get a feel for what life might be like here for you or a retired parent or relative.”
