Dependent non-o visas are very hard to come by these days maybe she would qualify for a DTV visa or if money is no problem look at the Elite visa for her

A retirement visa for you is easy enough, apply for the 90 day Non-O visa based on being over 50 before you travel, arrive in Thailand, open a bank account and put a minimum of 800k baht in it in the first couple of weeks, then once its been there 2 calendar months apply for the 12 month extension of stay.
Your partner is a bit more difficult, as your not married she would have to get her own visa and due to her age her options are limited. Either a DTV or a Thai Privilege visa would work for her

Try Champion visa on soi Post Office. My old pal who passed a few years ago used them constantly and was happy with them, he just paid them to do everything. The owner is a German lad but obviously speaks good English and has been there a good number of years now

If you’ve passed 50 years of age you’ll need three months bankstatments showing an income of minimum £ 1500 a month to apply for a 90 days Non O based on retirement in UK before you’ll leave.
In Thailand there’s no legal way around banking 800K baht in a Thai bank account two months prior to your first year extension of stay.

your income doesn't cut any ice in the first year of a "retirement extension". You need a minimum of 800,000 THB in your Thai bank account. It's up to you if you are willing to pay agents who use an illegal route to get you a one-year stay permit without funds. Feel warned!

@Jay *******
who makes you think that you can add an unmarried "care" partner on a dependent visa ? You seem to not have done your homework. Well I reckon you best visit an agent in Thailand, pay some hefty money and see how far it gets youNongnuch ********

he will soon find out that he is following a dream - instead of proper advice 😉 . . .the only reason I do not rhyme in, is because this thread already is a train wreck
