Retirees urged to look to the future
WITH a thriving social scene and the support of friendly staff, Eastbank Court in Worcester caters for retirees’ current and future needs. The Aspen Retirement development offers a luxurious level of living many people can only dream of for their later years. Spacious, high speci fication apartments are complemented by hotel style facilities and a variety of social activities for homeowners to participate in if they wish. There’s a manager on site around the clock, offering homeowners and their families peace of mind. Plus, with the option to add extra care if and when it’s needed, moving to Eastbank Court now could prevent a further move in future.
Liz Herring, sales and marketing manager for Aspen, explains: “When people are considering where they will live in later life we encourage them to think not just about their current needs, but the support they may need in ve or 10 years’ time if their health deteriorates. For example, we can arrange additional care for homeowners at Eastbank Court such as help getting up, bathing or going to bed if it’s required, services that aren’t offered at some other retirement developments.
“Eastbank Court is also different in that there’s so much more than just a lounge where residents can meet their new neighbours. There’s a whole host of activities homeowners can participate in from lm nights, to knit ‘n’ natter sessions, bingo and themed meals in the restaurant. Our home owners are a very sociable bunch and a recent coffee morning for Macmillan was well attended and raised more than £400.”
Among the happy homeowners enjoying a new lease of life at Eastbank Court is Haf Coglan, who said: “Making the decision in the first place was 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. “I use the restaurant every day and I go to the weekly morning coffee and afternoon tea, fortnightly bingo in the bar, and the quiz nights. We also go to the theatre regularly. I am now on the social committee and I enjoy organising social events.”
Eastbank Court offers a choice of stylish, spacious one and two-bedroom apartments with prices from £184,950. The development also offers a communal lounge; conservatory style lounge known as the garden room; an activities room where homeowners can play games such as table tennis; a library and even a hair salon. The on-site restaurant with licensed bar, known as the piano room, ensures that homeowners can enjoy a nutritious meal. They can also invite friends and family for lunch without having to worry about washing up. Homeowner Diane Ingham added: “It’s nice to be able to sit in the gardens and chat to people. I use the restaurant occasionally and took some friends for a ‘girlie’ lunch. It was great – they want to do it each month now!”
