-

When you move to a brand new Churchill Retirement Living developmen­t you get more than just an apartment, it’s a whole new lifestyle. You’ll have a comfortabl­e, safe and secure apartment with your own front door so you can be as independen­t as you like, with the option to socialise. Fewer worries about maintenanc­e means you’ll have more time on your hands for the people and things you love, so you can enjoy the retirement you deserve.

I don’t have to worry any more about external repairs

If the thought of downsizing feels overwhelmi­ng don’t worry, Churchill can offer a helping hand every step of the way and for a limited time only they will even pay your Stamp Duty*. We have a range of moving packages and specially tailored services which include a Home Exchange service, advice on downsizing, free removals service, and assistance with selling your property, plus a contributi­on towards estate agent and legal fees. A specialist Moving Co-ordinator can even provide practical support with sorting and packing your old possession­s or help you to settle in on moving day.

If you own a large house and garden the maintenanc­e can be a real burden when you’d rather just relax and make the most of your retirement, and the costs can really add up. With a brand new Churchill apartment, all the stress of keeping things in good order is looked after by a Lodge Manager, who is there to oversee the day-to-day running of the building so you don’t have to. Churchill’s award winning customer service team is also on hand to respond quickly to anything that needs fixing or adjusting, and to keep everything warm and comfortabl­e for you.

Instead of worrying, you can sit back and relax with the peace of mind that any exterior work, gardening and other jobs are taken care of and covered by an annual service charge, which is easy to budget for and can work out much cheaper than the bills for running a large house. All this means a real weight off your mind, so you can relax and look forward to your new lifestyle.

Churchill Owner Jan Sims has been doing just that since moving to her new apartment at Hubert Lodge in Hythe.

Talking about her reasons for moving, Jan explains: “After my husband died, I felt nervous living alone in my house, but now that I’m in my new apartment I feel completely safe and secure. I love the fact that I don’t have to worry any more about external repairs and painting and that I have a beautiful garden to enjoy without all the work.”

She says: “I’m really pleased with my apartment as it’s sparkling clean and brand new, with lots of added extras and quality

fittings. I particular­ly love my walk-in wardrobe as I can keep all my clothes, shoes and oddsand-ends completely out of sight, leaving me with a nice, tidy bedroom! Churchill have thought of everything in the kitchen too,

which is fitted out with all I need.”

She adds: “I know that moving home seems pretty daunting, but Churchill were very helpful in arranging the sale of my old home and the purchase of this apartment. They also arranged all the packing and removals and even provided a friendly lady who was waiting at my apartment on moving day to help me unpack, which was wonderful! I’m very happy here, I’ve got an easy-to-clean apartment, new friends, security and I’m right in the centre of the village. I’m really glad I made the move.”
