Retirement living hits the right note in Worcester

The opportunity to live independently but with the chance to enjoy the company of like-minded individuals and the support of friendly staff was music to the ears of visitors to Eastbank Court in Worcester.

So too were the voices of local choir Vocal Score, who performed especially for new home owners, their family and friends at the newly built Aspen Retirement Living apartments in Eastbank Drive.

Liz Herring, sales and marketing manager for Aspen Retirement Living, explained: “With the first residents about to move in to Eastbank Court we wanted to give people the opportunity to get to know their neighbours. We also invited people who are thinking of buying one of our apartments.

“We were delighted that some 60 people came along and enjoyed a taste of what life could be like if they choose to move here. As those who attended the performance by Vocal Score experienced, residents will be able to enjoy the companionship of other home owners and access to a variety of social activities, but at the same time they will still own their home and can enjoy the privacy of closing their own front door.”

The development features a choice of one and two-bedroom apartments currently priced from £198,000 to £293,000.

The stylish properties are well equipped with kitchens that include an electric eye-level oven, hob, fridge-freezer and washer dryer, while bathrooms include a walk-in shower and a bath

“Eastbank Court is the ideal solution for those who want to downsize to somewhere more manageable and maintenance free in their retirement, enabling them to live independently, yet with the benefit of having friendly support staff on-hand should they need some extra help,” Liz added.

Home owners will have the reassurance of an emergency call system and can make use of a range of serviced communal areas including a residents’ lounge, restaurant and a garden room. Unusually for this type of development there’s even a licensed bar and function room. There’s also a guest suite for when friends and family come to stay.

Future phases of Eastbank Court will include a library or quiet room, salon and treatment room equipped for a mobile hairdresser or therapists, plus a hobbies room with exercise mats for activities such as yoga or pilates, with tables and chairs for art classes or bridge.

“We’ve thought of everything to make life easier, enjoyable and stress free for the older generation,” Liz added.

Located north of Worcester city centre, Eastbank Court is situated in a quiet residential area with shops and a chemist within walking distance.
