Five Star Retirement Living

BOASTING hotel style facilities including a restaurant and hair salon, Eastbank Court in Worcester offers the lifestyle many people aspire to in later years.

In fact home owners at the Aspen Retirement development can enjoy VIP treatment every day.

This could include a pampering in the hair salon, followed by lunch in the on-site restaurant or a social drink with friends in the licensed bar. Others may choose to read in the library or pit their wits against fellow homeowners with a game of Scrabble. There’s also an activities room, which could host everything from Pilates to painting. Or, of course, they could simply enjoy the peace, quiet and privacy of their own apartment.

Aspen’s Liz Herring says: “People often have a preconceived ideas of what a retirement development will be like before they’ve even stepped inside and we’re happy to say that Eastbank Court far exceeds their expectations. There’s nowhere quite like it in the Worcestershire area as it offers an unrivalled level of luxury living that has led many visitors to compare it to a five-star hotel, thanks to the range and quality of the communal facilities.

“It’s a great way for older people to live independently for longer, as they’ll be able to enjoy the privacy and freedom that comes with owning their own spacious, high specification apartment. Plus home owners can decide for themselves how much they want to access the facilities or which social activities they wish to participate in.”

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,.

One and two-bedroom apartments at Eastbank Court are available from £184,950

“The two-bedroom apartments are particularly popular - so much so that there aren’t many of them left – however, we do have some surprisingly spacious one-bedroom designs. And because there’s a guest suite available for when friends and family come to stay homeowners may find that they don’t need the extra bedroom,” Liz adds.
