Homeowner testimonials: telling it like it is
We believe we create great places to live. Beautiful award-winning retirement apartments in brilliant locations with thoughtful, reassuring, services on tap and a thriving friendly community on the doorstep.
But what do people living in our communities think? We regularly ask for feedback on everything from the sales and moving in process to the lifestyle and services. Here’s what our homeowners have to say:
The first few days of settling in it felt a bit like being back at school again. I would politely make people’s acquaintances in the corridor and then one day I went into the lounge and bumped into Anne, and after a little while Pam… well the rest they say is history! We now chat for hours on end without ever getting bored.

The friendships I’ve cultivated here are truly special –everyone is so lovely and welcoming.
We share stories, laughter, and create wonderful memories together. It’s such a joy to be part of this caring and considerate group of individuals
Mike, homeowner at Gilbert Place, Swindon
McCarthy & Stone made it an easy move and took care of all of the legal side. They also helped with the moving and selling, so we really didn’t have much to do. The apartments are nice and modern, so it really gave us a fresh start to do what we wanted. There were only a few of us to begin with, but we grew together and now have a great community here.

It’s lovely that we’re able to have pets here. When I first visited Bluebell House, the first question I asked was whether I could bring Cody. It’s nice to be part of a community which shares my love of animals.

I wanted to find somewhere that would require less upkeep, so I could spend less time tidying and more time seeing friends and family among other things I enjoy.
Ruth, homeowner, Kingfisher Court
Being on the property ladder at this stage of my life just wasn’t important to me anymore. What appealed to me more was the freedom that renting offered. I wasn’t going to be tied down and neither would my family with a property to sell. I could plan my monthly costs in advance, know exactly what I would be paying month to month, and with no nasty surprises.
The Assured Tenancy offered by McCarthy & Stone also gave me great peace of mind that I could live at Clemens Place comfortably for as long I choose.
