For many seniors, retirement means filling their days with activities that will bring them contentment and happiness. However, common household chores can deny seniors the opportunity to come out of the daily drudgery and enjoy their golden years to the fullest. Daily chores can create detrimental effects of time pressure on life satisfaction. According to a study, spending money on a time-saving purchase like paying to delegate common household chores, such as cleaning, shopping, and cooking— rather than on a material purchase can bring greater happiness.  As one of the premium retirement homes for NRIs, we share some insights on common household chores that seniors find difficult:  Cooking  Although home-cooked food is healthy, with age, seniors find it difficult to cook meals by themselves. Cooking requires meal planning, going to grocery stores, and then spending hours to come up with two square meals. Seniors who live in retirement homes do not have to worry about preparing daily meals as they enjoy premium dining facilities. Instead of worrying about cooking, they spend their time exercising, pursuing a hobby, or playing with grandkids.  Laundry Laundry is another time-consuming and difficult chore for seniors. Although there are washing machines to wash clothes, a lot of time is spent on sorting dirty clothes, loading, and folding. Doing laundry can interrupt seniors’ schedules and prevent them from stepping out of the house until they are done.  Housekeeping  Cleaning the house every day can be not just time consuming but also physically taxing for  seniors.  Giving the home a proper and thorough cleaning means an entire day is gone. Moreover,  cleaning the kitchen and bathroom is not just laborious but also risky. The slick and wet floors in the bathrooms or stepping on a stepstool to clean cabinets are falling hazards.  Yard work and lawn care  Well-maintained yard and lawn definitely look good and elevate the appeal of a house. But mowing, weeding, aerating, and fertilising the lawn can be too much work for seniors. Seniors who have large trees on their property will have to find the time to rake or blow falling leaves during autumn. This can take up all their free time — that can be spent on relaxing or pursuing hobbies. Home maintenance Owning a house means that there is always something that needs repair or replacement. Changing light bulbs, cleaning kitchen chimneys, getting water purifiers and air conditioners serviced, and cleaning upholstery are all tasks that need to be taken care of. Whether seniors do it themselves or hire a handyman, they need to take time out and make adequate arrangements. All these can be time-guzzlers — they keep seniors busy but not happy.   Move into our premium retirement homes for NRIs and enjoy a worry-free lifestyle  At our premium retirement homes for NRIs, there will be a dedicated on-site team to take care of  daily meals, housekeeping, maintenance, and laundry so that our residents can spend quality and leisure time pursuing hobbies, making new friends, and enjoying with family and friends.

After working hard for years, many NRIs dream of spending their retirement years back in India. The sense of belongingness and seeing familiar faces are some of the attractions for NRIs. The Indian money value in the currency exchange is also an added advantage for NRIs buying property in India. However, if you are looking to buy premium retirement homes for NRIs, there are many things to keep in mind. Let us take a look at those key points:  Power of Attorney If you are an NRI buying property in India and are unable to travel to India, you can still buy a retirement home using a power of attorney. A power of attorney is a legal document. It is written authorization given to a trusted person to act on your behalf at the time of buying a property. The power of attorney needs to be attested at the Indian Embassy.  This is done to avoid any future conflicts.  Property registration Being an NRI, you can buy residential or commercial properties excluding agricultural land. As of now, there is no cap on the number of properties you can buy. Before buying a property in India, always check property documents such as title deeds, previous deeds, and tax receipts. Registration should be done at the sub-register office. Home loan Being an NRI, you must buy the Indian property by paying in Indian currency. As per the Reserve Bank of India, you can take home loans from Indian banks. There are several documents and criteria that you must fulfill. For instance, you need to furnish copies of:  Passport Valid visa  Work permit Contract of employment Work experience certificate Salary certificate Statements of non-resident external (NRE) or non-resident ordinary (NRO) accounts  Generally, banks will provide loans of up to 80% of the property value. However, RBI approval is necessary.  Tenure of home loan While an Indian citizen can avail of loans with a maximum tenure of 30 years with some banks, the tenure for NRI home loans is restricted. It is available within the range of 5-15 years.  Income tax Once you have bought premium retirement homes for NRIs in India, you will have to pay income tax to the Indian government.  Income tax is applicable on all properties bought with the purpose of investment or self-use. However, NRIs are granted certain tax benefits. It is a good idea to find out about the house tax deduction benefits that you are eligible for.  If you are planning to visit India to tour and buy premium retirement homes for NRIs, here is a useful read on questions to ask — this will help you make an informed choice.  Looking to buy premium retirement homes for NRIs?  Our premium retirement homes for NRIs will have premium living spaces available in four different sizes.

As you age, it becomes increasingly important to manage your stress levels. This is because stress can have a negative impact on your overall well-being. Chronic stress has been linked with a wide range of health problems, such as gastrointestinal issues, sleep disorders, headaches and migraines, heart problems, such as a racing heart, high blood pressure, and depression. As one of the premium retirement homes for NRIs, we share with you some useful insights on stress and how to recognise signs of stress: Signs of stress: Changes in your eating pattern: It is no secret that your eating habits can have a profound effect on your weight. Whether you are overeating or undereating, the result is often an unwanted change in your waistline. Sometimes, changes in eating habits can be traced to psychological factors such as stress or anxiety. When you are under pressure, you may turn to food for comfort, leading to overeating and weight gain. Alternatively, you may lose your appetite due to the mental turmoil you are experiencing. Either way, the result is often an unhealthy change in your weight. Physical pain: When you are under stress, hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol are released. This can cause an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration as well as a decrease in your digestive function. All these changes can lead to physical pain, such as intestinal or bowel issues, headaches or migraines, and muscle aches. Changes in sleep pattern: Stress can cause muscle tension that makes it difficult to relax and fall asleep. Additionally, stress can lead to psychological issues such as anxiety and depression that can also impact sleep. If you are struggling to get good sleep, it may be a sign that your body is under stress. Frequent sickness: Chronic stress can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to illnesses. If you are constantly worrying about something in your life or caring for a loved one with a chronic illness, it is important to find ways to manage your stress. Exercise, meditation, and spending time in nature are all great ways to reduce stress levels and improve your overall health. Excessive sweating: When your body experiences extreme stress, the body’s temperature rises and as a result sweat glands start working to cool your body down. Heart palpitations: If your heart rate is above 100 bpm without any physical exertion, it is likely that your body is under some level of stress. Usually, the resting heart rate of 60 to 80 beats per minute (BPM) is considered to be in the normal range. How to handle stress? Here we discuss some useful tips to cope with stress: Setting realistic goals and expectations Maintaining a healthy diet Meditating Doing yoga Exercising regularly Journaling, reading, listening to music, or doing activities that you love Getting enough sleep Avoiding excessive alcohol Connecting with like-minded people Taking a vacation Bonding with your pet Practising deep breathing Joining a walking group Connecting with old colleagues and family members Joining a local library Volunteering at a local charity Note: Stress is one of the key contributing factors to depression. If you are struggling with depression, know that you are not alone and that there is help available. Do not hesitate to reach out to your doctor.
