Retiring is something most look forward to but dread at the same time. We look forward to the part where we can relax and enjoy our newfound freedom but we fear boredom and worry that our health will not sustain our independent lifestyle.

Hilltop Gardens in Naxxar, aimed at taking the fear out of retirement, will be opening its doors to residents later on this year and it will offer a choice of luxurious apartments and penthouses, spread over an area of 17,000sq metres of land.

Every apartment comes with an array of on-demand services such as help with domestic chores, assistance with shopping and maintenance, as well as other in-home care and tailor-made assistance that will help make long-term independent living easier.

The Hilltop Gardens Retirement Village will also have a state-of-the-art residential care home for those who have, or develop higher dependencies. Convalescence, rehabilitation and palliative care services will be provided by the multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals within the Village. Moreover the care home, which offers short-term and long-term care, includes a purposely-built dedicated Memory Support Unit for persons with dementia as well as physio-hydrotherapy pool and physiotherapy hall.

The home also includes a fitness centre, a library, a chapel, a restaurant, a billiard room, a multipurpose hall, an indoor and outdoor pool, a hairdressing salon, a 24-hour general practitioner, and many other services.
