Eastbank Court offers ease of living

MAKING new friends, dining in the on-site restaurant and taking up hobbies are just some of the ways retirees are enjoying a new lease of life at Eastbank Court in Worcester. The Aspen Retirement development offers stylish, spacious apartments in luxurious hotel-style surroundings. Many of those who’ve already moved into the development have discovered that by downsizing their home, they’ve
upsized their lifestyle.

Among the happy homeowners is Haf Coglan who lives in a one-bedroom apartment. Mrs Coglan says: “My life has improved greatly since moving to Eastbank Court and I am much happier. I have made lots of friends and we can talk to each other as and when we wish. I was on my own before and my failing health was affecting the activities I was able to participate in. Here it doesn’t matter. I go to the weekly morning coffee and afternoon tea, fortnightly bingo and the quiz nights. We also go to the theatre regularly. I am now on the social committee and I enjoy organising social events.”

While some retirement developments will have a lounge where homeowners can socialise, Eastbank Court offers so much more - including a licensed restaurant, hair salon, library and activities room. “I use the restaurant every day. My family know I am getting a proper meal every day so they are happy,” Mrs Coglan adds.

“It is ‘easy living’ here. I have no worries at all. If something goes wrong there is always someone to hand. “Making the decision to move in the first place is the hardest thing. It didn’t happen overnight but I felt I was ready. It is a big decision, but once I had made it I was very excited about moving in. It is another chapter to my life.” 

Diane Ingham is also enjoying the ease of living that Eastbank Court offers. “The design of the apartments is brilliant. I have plenty of room to enjoy my hobby, which is wine making,” she said. “The apartment is easy to keep clean, especially with weekly help with the housework included. I feel very secure at night knowing the gates are locked in the evening. It is easier to manage as you don’t have to worry about paying for things like buildings insurance or window cleaning, as they’re included in the service charge.”

Eastbank Court offers a choice of stylish, spacious one and two-bedroom apartments with prices from £184,950. For more information call 01905 455 182 or see www.aspenretirement.co.uk/developments/eastbank-court.
