Types of care in March
Residential care homes
1 in MarchIs March a good retirement location?
March suits people seeking affordable, quieter later-life living in the East of England, with family or support already nearby. The town has a marginally higher share of residents aged 65+ (19% vs the national 18.6%), suggesting an established older community. Care homes are present, but you'll want to check local availability and visit several to find the right fit — the choice is likely smaller than in bigger towns.
Health & support
- Medical access: GP surgeries and pharmacies are available locally; Peterborough Hospital is the main emergency facility within reasonable distance
- Safety: Recorded crime is very low at 4 offences in the most recent reporting period, though violent crime was the most common type recorded
- Family & connection: Consider how close your family or carers are — March is semi-rural, so regular visiting and local support networks matter
Finances & daily life
- Cost of care: Care-home fees in the Fenland area are generally below or around the national average; March offers more affordable options than southern or urban centres
- Transport: Bus services connect March to nearby towns and Peterborough; rail links are limited, and a car is helpful for wider travel
- Housing options: Care homes are available in March, though the range is narrower than in larger towns — early viewing and inquiry is wise
Lifestyle & environment
- Green space & hobbies: Eight parks and one allotment offer outdoor space; walking and gardening are accessible locally
- Community: One pub or bar is recorded; look into community groups, memory cafés and church or volunteer networks through local care homes or the council
- Climate: East Anglia has cool, often damp winters and moderate summers — typical for the region
Things to weigh up
- Limited social venues: Only one pub or bar is recorded locally; social life depends more on family, care-home activities and travelling to nearby Peterborough
- Smaller care-home choice: Provision exists but is more limited than in major towns — early planning and multiple visits are important
- Car dependency: Semi-rural location means some journeys need a vehicle; bus services exist but are not frequent
