New Assisted Living scheme launches in Ferndown
Retirement developer McCarthy & Stone this week launched its new Assisted Living development in Ferndown to phenomenal success with over 200 people attending the event to find out more about the retirement properties being released for sale.
The exciting new concept was launched to the public at Oakdene Forest Park. Three separate presentations took place across the day to give people the first opportunity to find out comprehensive details about the development, including prices.
Aileen King, sales and marketing director for McCarthy & Stone South West, explains: “We are delighted to be launching Cherrett Court and bringing an exciting new offering to Ferndown. The phenomenal turnout on the day proves there is a real demand locally for an Assisted Living provision.
“We will now be carrying out follow-up meetings with those people who expressed an interest in reserving one of the 46 one and two bedroom apartments and we urge anyone considering a move to Cherrett Court to get in touch soon to avoid disappointment.”
Cherrett Court will extend the developer’s retirement living offering to the over 70s by providing residents who require additional daily assistance with the necessary support to enable them to live in their home for longer, as their needs change, or avoid residential care altogether.
As standard, each McCarthy & Stone apartment includes features such as 24 hour emergency call points, electrical sockets at a raised height to reduce bending, easy grip lever taps, double glazing, energy efficient heating, CCTV and door entry systems and a lift to all floors. There is also a residents’ lounge, guest suite and laundry room at each development.
In addition to all of the standard features, the Assisted Living apartments at Cherrett Court will be fully wheelchair accessible and will benefit from level access wardrobes, a level access shower and separate bath with grab rails, slip resistant vinyl flooring and an electrically operated kitchen window. An estates manager, 24 hour on-site staff and waitress service restaurant will also be available.
Furthermore, residents will be able to benefit from an hour of domestic assistance each week as part of their service charge, whether that’s help with chores or getting the weekly shop in, and personal care assistance can also be organised for those individuals who require it, at an additional cost.
First occupations at Cherrett Court are anticipated in summer 2010.
