Retiree chooses life in Rhos-on-Sea

When Joan Armstrong decided she wanted to embark on a new life by the sea, she had no second thoughts about upping sticks from the Wirral to Adlington House in Rhos-on-Sea.

Retiring to the sea was always a dream of Joan’s and her partner and when he passed away she decided it was one she was going to fulfil. After receiving a flyer regarding Adlington’s upcoming development she thought she should enquire.

She comments: “My first visit to Rhos-on-Sea was while the site for Adlington House was still being prepared. I noted that it was just two minutes walk from the sea and shops and I fell in love. I spoke to the Sales Advisors who were extremely helpful and cemented my decision.”

Designed exclusively for the over 55s, Adlington House has a variety of apartments in Rhos-on-Sea which offer home buyers both independent living and a helping hand in the form of tailored 24-hour on site care packages from MHA (Methodist Homes for the Aged).

All of the apartments have generous living spaces, a good-sized master bedroom with fitted wardrobe and a beautifully appointed kitchen with a full range of integrated appliances. While many apartments benefit from either a patio or balcony with sea views, there are also beautifully landscaped shared gardens for all the residents to enjoy.

Joan purchased a 1 bedroom apartment and moved in four months ago. She explains what she likes about her new home: “The apartments are really well designed, they have ample space and it’s the features such as having a wet room, as opposed to a bath that you would have to climb into, that really make it well suited to my lifestyle.

“The location is great. The amenities are good and within easy access, including a handy bus service, but if I need any help with my shopping I know I only have to ask the staff who are only too willing to get me my essentials.”

Overall, it appears Joan has settled in well: “I am very happy here in my new apartment in Rhos-on-Sea, the staff and fellow residents are very helpful and welcoming. Family and friends who have come to visit are delighted with my new home.

“I have transferred my church membership to a local Methodist church and arranged to have my Welsh lessons in nearby Llandudno. Best of all, I have peace of mind, secure in the knowledge that if I have any health problems, help is at hand.”

As well as a choice of stunning apartments, residents at Adlington House enjoy the lap of luxury; with a range of on site facilities including communal lounges, a library/computer suite, hairdressing salon, exercise room and a bistro; so residents have everything they need literally on their doorstep.

Prices of these new homes in Rhos-on-Sea range from £140,000 to £360,000. To see the stylish apartments for yourself, visit the Show Suite, open daily from 11am to 4.30pm.
