Of course, the global COVID-19 pandemic has focused many people’s minds on this. But for retired people, this is a situation that is lived out daily.


Many of us look forward to retirement, to a time when we can relax, and enjoy time with family and friends. But retirement can also be a shock to the system.


You maybe find you’ve got nothing particularly important to do. You might feel you have lost your purpose in life. Perhaps you’re feeling lonely.


We’re here to help. You probably need to start a hobby in retirement. And we’ve got plenty of suggestions.


At Scalesceugh Hall & Villas, our homeowners are keen to engage with each other as much as possible, it’s a friendly retirement community and activities are planned, discussed and arranged as a social group.
