Enjoy your own space & a new social life at Eastbank Court

MORE than half of over 75s live alone but having your own space doesn’t mean being lonely, as those who have moved to Eastbank Court in Worcester have discovered.

 The Aspen Retirement development is perfect for older people who want to enjoy their independence for longer. It offers a choice of one and two-bedroom apartments, plus hotel style communal facilities where homeowners can spend time getting acquainted with new neighbours who quickly become firm friends.

Liz Herring, Sales and Marketing Manager for Aspen says: “New research suggests that older people aren’t necessarily the loneliest in society*. Part of the reasoning behind this is that younger generations are too busy with work to spend time with friends.

“At Eastbank Court it’s the opposite. Retirees are able to enjoy a renewed social life as they have more leisure time. Plus, because our apartments are easy to manage and domestic help is included in a monthly service charge,time that would have previously been swallowed up by household chores is theirs to use how they please.”

Current prices at Eastbank Court start from £192,000 for a one-bedroom apartment. Surprisingly spacious, these are typically around 632 square feet. For example the generously proportioned hall would take a large piece of furniture such as a bookcase; the lounge is large enough for a dining table as well as a sofa/comfy chairs; while the kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances. The piece de resistance is the bathroom, which truly needs to be seen to be appreciated.

“The beauty of moving to Eastbank Court is that you can enjoy the privacy of having your own space or choose to spend time with others. It really comes into its own in the winter as you can effectively ‘go out while staying in’ as there’s a restaurant, licensed bar, library and hair salon amongst other facilities all under one roof,” Liz adds.

A growing programme of activities includes armchair aerobics, enabling people to keep fit, and games of Scrabble in the library to exercise the mind, as well as monthly quiz nights. A ‘knit ‘n’ natter’ session takes place once a week, plus there are regular coffee mornings, chances to enjoy a spot of afternoon tea and monthly trips to the theatre.

Located on Eastbank Drive, Northwick, Eastbank Court is ideally placed in a quiet residential area. There’s a post office, shop and chemist close by; while the city centre is easily accessible by bus.
