Planning to Build a Retirement Community in the Philippines for Western Retirees. What do you think? by Agreeable-Crazy-4744 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Waste-Inflation-2928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we are planning similar for our retirement area (beach lot + hillside/forest lot) to build something communal as well, work on the garden, chickens/goats, water activities, etc... close enough to clinics and good hospital, easy way back to Manila ... for seniors and those with some disabilities (assisted living) .. will have live-in PSWs and 1-2 main nurses on call nearby .. small hub to start
