Beautiful communal facilities for socialising 

In our assisted living retirement developments, you'll find lounges, large gardens and roof terraces designed for socialising and relaxing. These communal facilities soon become social hubs - a hive of informal gatherings, regular clubs, events and meet-ups.

There are hobby groups and events for every interest, like film nights, gardening clubs, pie and mash lunches, knitting clubs and cocktails. Best of all, we take on all the maintenance of shared areas, inside and out, so you can devote your time to the things you most enjoy.
