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:

McCarthy & Stone recommended an estate agent as well as a solicitor and a removals firm, which all worked out really well and took the stress out of moving. Everyone is so friendly. It has been a great tonic for me.
George, homeowner, Brideoake Court
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.
