Retirement Living Schemes for over 60s
Our Retirement Living Schemes provide self-contained and studio flats, giving you the key to your own front door and the freedom to come and go as you please. Each scheme offers a variety of shared facilities, such as a communal lounge, kitchen, and usually laundry facilities.
We prioritise your security and comfort, ensuring you maintain your independence but can also have a communal space where you can enjoy social activities and form new friendships.
The benefits of living in a Retirement Living scheme
- Safety and security - Most of our schemes (except Burhouse Court/New Street) are accessed through a secure communal entrance door leading to the communal area of the scheme - You will then have access to your own flat.
- Lift access - to upper floors (Excludes Burhouse Court/New Street).
- Guest rooms - Most of our schemes offer guest rooms for visiting friends and family at a fraction of hotel costs.
- Independence - you will have your own flat whilst having access to shared facilities and support services.
- Wi-Fi access - in the communal areas (subject to change)
- Health and well-being - opportunities to take part in physical activities, and social engagement which contributes to a healthier lifestyle.
