\nMedia statement<\/h4>\n
The Commission for Financial Capability (CFFC) is delighted to have won the People\u2019s Choice prize in the 2018 Plain English Awards for its booklet Thinking of Living in a Retirement Village?<\/em><\/p>\n
The booklet was written for retirees and their families, and aimed to strike a balance between conveying important technical information in a way that was easy to understand. The booklet offers practical tips and checklists to help ease a decision-making process that must navigate complicated legal and financial terrain at what can be an emotional time for families.<\/p>\n
CFFC\u2019s National Manager of Retirement Villages, Troy Churton, who wrote the booklet, says selling a home and moving into a retirement village has far-reaching consequences for the remainder of a retired person\u2019s life, and affects the estate they will pass on to their loved ones.<\/p>\n
\u201cCFFC believes it\u2019s important that intending residents and their families understand the implications clearly and can make a considered decision based on impartial information,\u201d says Churton. \u201cWe\u2019re very pleased that the public has found our booklet so helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n
