Security, warmth and well-being in Rhos-on-Sea
As the winter months draw in and the dark nights and cold weather arrive, many older people find this a vulnerable time. Locked indoors, sometimes on your own, the feeling is that you’re cut off from the rest of the world.
In fact, never before has loneliness been so prevalent amongst the over 65s. According to research by Age UK, more than one in ten say that they always — or often — feel lonely. Almost half consider television their main form of company and half a million spent Christmas Day alone last year.
At Adlington House, a retirement village concept in Rhos-on-Sea, many of the homeowners have purchased for the above reason, and the developer has worked hard to ensure that this option provides independent living in high quality accommodation, which has been purpose built to make life easier.
Jean Coomber, a homeowner at Adlington House comments: “I felt vulnerable living in a big flat on my own and wanted to move somewhere care was available should I need it. My daughter took me to Adlington House and the area and apartment were perfect for me, I’ve not looked back since I moved in.”
As well as having a self-contained luxury apartment, homeowners at Adlington House can also benefit from a range of on site facilities including communal lounges, a library/computer suite, hairdressing salon, exercise room and a bistro; so they have everything they need literally on their doorstep and as little or much companionship as they’d like.
Designed exclusively for the over 55s, Adlington House has a variety of apartments 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, shower room with heated towel rail, a store room and a beautifully appointed kitchen with a full range of integrated appliances. And, 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.
And as part of the outstanding specification, the homes come complete with an audio visual intercom security system, burglar alarm, smoke and heat detectors and an energy-efficient hot water and central heating system.
In terms of its location Adlington House is perfectly placed for both those seeking a more leisurely pace of life and those looking to make the most of an active retirement. Lying within walking distance of the seafront and local shops, there are also a broad range of sporting and social clubs on the doorstep, such as golf and sailing.
But don’t just take our word for it, come along and take a look at the show apartments and communal areas for yourself and if there are some homeowners around, they’d be more than willing to answer any questions you may have.
Prices for the apartments range from £165,000 to £335,000. To see the stylish apartments for yourself, visit the Show Suite, open daily from 11am to 4.30pm.
