Initiatives to support senior communities

Our initiatives are driven by our values and designed to improve community living for seniors, wider society and the environment.

Improving community living for seniors

Innovation, passion, determination and excellence are core to McCarthy Stone’s values. They guide our initiatives, which aim to improve life for our homeowners and for senior communities across the UK.

Alongside tackling issues like ageism and loneliness, our initiatives feed into the achievement of our vision which is: to create communities for our customers that nurture a sense of belonging, independence and peace of mind. You can read about some of our initiatives here.

Campaigning for more senior communities 

Demand for retirement communities is growing fast and there are many benefits to building more homes to meet this demand. Senior communities allow older people to live independently for longer, can improve health and wellbeing and free up larger homes for families.

The McCarthy Stone Foundation

Our Foundation helps charities and organisations to change lives across the UK for the better while strengthening links between generations. We provide grants to causes that champion the health and wellbeing of older people in the community and support community spaces and activities that bring people together across age groups.

Our sustainability initiatives

Our Sustainability Strategy has four sustainability imperatives: creating communities, sustainable living, developing people and building clean and green. Our objectives include Net Zero Carbon for all new buildings by 2030 and net biodiversity gain at all new sites from 2023. These allow us to create senior communities that positively impact our homeowners, wider society and the environment.

On your doorstep you’ll have access to shared areas, such as a relaxing lounge with tea and coffee making facilities and Wi-Fi and lovely landscaped gardens with seating, making it easy to enjoy the company of a friendly community.
