Objective : To investigate reasons older people move to a retirement village that does not offer on‐site care and support services. Method : 323 participants living in independent living units were interviewed. Results : Almost all participants cited care and support as one reason for moving to the retirement village. Conclusion : Provisions for in‐home care and support services to assist older residents with on‐going independent living should be addressed by retirement village management.
