SunParkLiving
According
to a YouGov poll that was carried out in 2012 the re are an estimated 2.4
million so called sandwich carers in the UK.
Charity organisation Charity UK estimate that around a fifth of 45-60
year olds are actively caring for elderly parents while their own children are
still at home. This situation makes
this group of adults the most vulnerable to stress and ill health as they find
themselves sandwiched in between responsibility of the older and younger people
in the family with precious little time for themselves.
Today
I am going to tell you about a place that I have discovered that is aiming to
offer a sanctuary for those who are retired or semi retired. It is not a time-share, or a dreary out of
season hotel offering lacklustre entertainment.
SunParkLiving in Lanzarote is a year round home away from home with a
new and refreshing take on welcoming careworn over 50’s to comfortable self
catering and self serviced apartments.
The aim here is to make a community that is for the people and by the
people. There is no regimentation here, as the SunParkLiving residents organise
events and facilities themselves. With
rates that are eminently affordable, many stay for months at a time. The emphasis here is less on holidaymaking
and more on affordable longer stays and community involvement. There is even a
left luggage store so that SunParkLiving guests nicknamed ‘SunRockers’ can
leave their summer togs and beach gear until the next time they visit.
I
will be travelling out to Lanzarote to visit SunParkLiving at the beginning of
June and will be doing a full report on what I find when I get back.
