A choice of housing and care options Everyone’s needs and aspirations are different, so we offer a choice of retirement communities to suit those aged 55 and over, whether retired or not. From independent living to 24-hour care, our locations provide access to different levels of support with a variety of tenure options – leasehold sales, rental, shared ownership and residential care homes.

CHOICES
Housing to rent Purpose-built, affordable properties including studio flats, one, two or three- bedroom properties and bungalows set in a vibrant community often including additional facilities such as a shared lounge, gardens and guest room.
Rented housing with extra care It's housing to rent, with the added advantage of an on-site care team who provide support based on an assessed need. Residents benefit from additional facilities depending on location such as a meal service, housekeeping, hair salon and treatment room.

Retirement villages Our villages offer a range of luxury retirement properties for sale, with state-of-the-art leisure facilities, set in the beautiful surroundings of a rural village development.
What drives us
Having a good home, and a good local neighbourhood, matters to us all. Never more so than in later life, where wellbeing and connectedness with family, friends and neighbours, is increasingly important. And this matters all the more because the number of older people is increasing. By 2037, one in four of us is projected to be over 65.
Our Values
Our Vision
Our Ambition
To do more to meet the increasing needs of older people in a sustainable way To continue to evolve our housing and care offer so people can have a home where they love living in later life To think differently, so that we can lead the way to create choice and opportunity
To transform housing and care so everyone can have a home where they love living in later life
Our approach can be described very simply: • More and better homes where people love living in later life • More opportunities for colleagues in career development and reward • More influential by amplifying residents' voices and telling everyone about the great things we’re doing • More efficient by challenging ourselves to innovate and do things better. 60 years ago, we set out to offer new high-quality and affordable housing options to older people. That aim still drives us today.
