Pamela Ward
“When I go away, I know everything’s safe, I’ve got no worries. My daughter lives in Australia so I went there last year for 10 weeks knowing that everything would be okay. The manager checked on everything for me and put my heating on for me just before I came back home.”

Maggie & Hugh Wylde
“I was spending my time rectifying problems with cottages and old houses. There was always work to be done and at our age you get to stage where you can’t do it, and your resources get more limited. I became less inclined to spend the time dealing with old properties.”

Jacquie Morgan
“When I go down in the Communal Lounge there’s people that I know now, and that’s how we’ve all met up and we’re not really neighbours now we’ve become friends. So, you know you’re not alone here and there’s help at hand if you need it.”

Dorothy Court
“At nighttime and as you’re getting older, and you don’t want to go out it is lonely. So, I’m not lonely here, everybody’s really friendly we all sort of mix in together. Especially the ladies who are on their own, in fact I like knitting, so I got them all knitting. It’s absolutely wonderful.”

Anna Krepa
“My big concern once I moved here was about the bus service, but I found out there is fantastic bus service. So, there is no problem at all with regards to that, I can go wherever I want, and I can do whatever I want.”

Pam & John Whiteman
“We did Moving Made Easy, they put the estate agent signs up, they sold it and did a deal with them. And then they sort of crossed over to this side and we got the removals, and we all got helped doing all that it was quite easy compared to what it would have been.”

Vivien Hulme
“I think you get a wrong impression, because I did. And this is a completely different concept altogether. You’ve got your own apartment and then you come down to the lounge if you want to. Everybody’s so friendly”
Burghley Tenant
Margaret & Eddie Towne
“When we told the sons we were moving into an apartment their attitude was you won’t like it, you love going out in your garden, you’re always doing things. And we just said look we’ve had enough now, and we both decided its what we want. One son has already been, and he said I can understand now why you like it here.”
