Our staff really care about getting to know you. We enjoy a chat and take the time to listen; it allows us to spot if you are low or not feeling well, or you may have a trip planned and you would like us to look after your home.
Live independently
Being part of our retirement community at the Abbey or Manor allows you the right to live in your home with us for as long as you wish and are safe to do so. It is also a lower cost than buying property on the open market. For most individuals, moving into a retirement community and selling their home means they release equity, and this can be used to fully enjoy the rest of their lives. Our quarterly charge then includes the majority of costs of living in the retirement community and other services we provide.
In our retirement community, you can live independently, however if you do need any extra support we are here to help. We can assist you to find a quality domiciliary care provider. Alternatively, with a little notice, our care team can support you in the Abbey in Wiltshire or the Manor in Hampshire on a short, or long term basis.
