The View From Our Homeowners

We enjoy talking to our homeowners and finding out more about why they decided to move and what they think of their new lifestyle.

Common themes often come up, explaining why rightsizing to one of our communities was the best move they made.

"Best Move Ever"

“There’s a real sense of community. Everybody’s so nice to each other. There’s nothing I don’t like about living here. We knew we’d enjoy it, but we didn’t think it was going to be as good as this. It’s everything that we expected and more.”

Pat & Michael – homeowners

A Thriving Community

“I’ve absolutely done the right thing and probably should have done it a couple of years earlier. It’s lovely to be somewhere where things are happening. I feel as if I’ve joined life again rather than being locked away from it.”

Anne – homeowner

Peace Of Mind

“The best bits about living here are you’ve got people on hand. You can have your privacy. You can stay in your own apartment whenever you want to… but you also have the alternative. I think having that choice is such a big thing and you can have one choice one day and the other choice the next day. It’s a perfect situation.”

Bill & Joan – homeowners

Maintenance-Free Living

“We have much more time available to do the things that we want to do because we no longer have to worry about the upkeep of a big house and garden.”

Margaret – homeowner

Beautiful Gardens Without The Upkeep

“I have an apartment with a lovely garden in front of it which the gardener comes and manages. We go around dead-heading, but we haven’t got that major responsibility anymore. You can back off if you don’t feel like it today, you haven’t got to do it and that’s lovely.”

Community Spirit

“It’s nice that there are all these activities going on that you can get involved with if you want to. There are just lovely things going on all the time. We have quiz nights, film nights, take-away meal nights, we bring in fish & chips.”

Having The Dog, It Helps A Little Bit.

“It gives you a bit of comfort, you know. And the staff and everybody, they are wonderful. I feel very fortunate to be here”

A Better Social Life

“I’m in the book club. We meet once a month and David, who runs the club, gets all the books from Stockport library. There’s 15 of us, so he gets 15 copies and we all read it over the month. I take mine downstairs in the front room, as I call it, and sit and read my book. It’s lovely.”
