New Assisted Living retirement apartments are planned for sale in Torquay, Devon

McCarthy & Stone pioneered the concept of private purpose built retirement housing in the UK over 30 years ago. An Assisted Living retirement development bridges the gap between more conventional retirement living and residential care or a nursing home, by offering a range of additional features designed to help residents retain their independence and importantly, for those in retirement, home ownership.

The additional features, which extend to both the retirement flats and the communals include a waitress service restaurant plus domestic assistance and personal care that can be tailored to meet the changing needs of residents in retirement.

On the South Coast of England, Torquay is one of the UK's top holiday destinations and is often described as the English Riviera.  It is home to 9 sandy beaches and 7 green hills, many beautiful promenades, a harbour, marina and shopping centre with boutique shops as well as the usual high street outlets.

Torquay and the surrounding area have many attractions to offer including Torquay Zoo and Museum, Paignton Zoo, Dartmouth Steam Railway, Kirkham House, Oldway Mansion and Compton Castle.  Areas of particular interest include Torbay; St Marychurch; Ellacombe; Tontes; Milber, and further afield Newton Abbot and Goodrington in Paignton.

Planning permission has been achieved for a development of assisted living retirement apartments situated on Barton Road, an ideal location for the local town of Torre with its variety of shops.

An Estates Manager will oversee the running of this Assisted Living retirement development in Torquay, and staff will be on site 24 hours a day. Key assisted living related features will include a residents' lounge, laundry room, waitress service restaurant (or in the event of illness meals can be taken to a residents flat), function room and lifts that give access to all floors. One hour of domestic assistance is available each week and further assistance can be tailored to individual needs. The Assisted Living flats are designed to enable wheelchair users to live independently.

The perfect environment for those in retirement, homes in our assisted living retirement development will each contain a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom containing both a bath and separate level access shower.
