We often hear from our homeowners that they ‘feel like they’re on holiday’ when they move to an Adlington Retirement Community. And when you go on holiday, one of the greatest pleasures is casting aside your worries and day-to-day responsibilities, letting somebody else take care of everything for you, with no jobs around the house and no never-ending ‘to-do list’!
But why limit that feeling to just a few weeks each year, when you can feel worry-free all year round?
Since moving to The Sidings in December with her husband Harry, Ann is enjoying her newfound freedom from DIY:
“When you have a house, you become a servant to it. I’m quite good at building things but the days come when you don’t want to have to do that sort of thing anymore. It worries you. You don’t have worries here. I can’t get over it. It’s wonderful.”

“We always worried that it would be broken into while we were away. Here, we know that it is being looked after and if we want something doing, such as the flowers watering or if we’ve forgotten to switch something off, we can ring our lovely management team up and ask them to pop in.”
Here for you 24/7Pam, who moved to The Woodlands, is happy not to have the worry or the hassle of managing a property herself.
Pam had a gardener and a cleaner before she moved. Here the service charge covers the gardener and communal cleaning, plus building maintenance, buildings insurance and water utilities, taking all of the hassle away.
Read Pam and Mike's storyWhen you move to a retirement community you can do as much or as little as you like. It’s entirely your choice.
“We spend lots of time in the coffee lounge and the homeowners lounge too. If anybody wants to chat, they go and sit in the coffee lounge and invariably, the crowd will gather and that’s how it goes. You’re never short of somebody to talk to.”
