A safe haven for all at The Red House

-

The past extraordin­ary year has posed a particular set of challenges for everyone at The Red House, in Ripon.

However, through innovative thinking, selflessne­ss and dedication, the people living and working at this luxury retirement village have continued to enjoy a safe and stimulatin­g lifestyle.

Sometimes this has comprised simple gestures, for example staff delivering cocktails to homeowners’ rooms or the on-site chef creating recipe cards for them to use while the restaurant and bar are closed.

The recipe cards have also been made available to local people, part of The Red House commitment to be an integral part of the Ripon community.

One member of staff who has gone the extra mile – and arguably more – to help is one of The Red House duty managers, Sally Cunningham.

During the spring 2020 lockdown, Sally lived on the premises for three months and spent countless hours on the telephone to owners, providing them with company and a listening ear – not to mention regular quizzes and riddlers to aid mental stimulatio­n.

This remarkable gesture also gave other members of the staff team the reassuranc­e of knowing there was always someone close at hand should anyone have fallen ill or needed any other assistance in the unpreceden­ted situation they were faced with.

Sally’s quizzes have since become an establishe­d and continuing part of Red House life, while her 22-year career as a corporate language trainer has come in useful for writing articles to keep owners both informed and entertaine­d.

It goes without saying that the efforts of Sally and the rest of the team have not gone unnoticed by residents, typified by owner Sylvia who says: “Moving to The Red House has definitely been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

“Especially during these past few months, many of my neighbours and I can think of nowhere better to be.”

Based around an imposing early 20th century residence with quality new-build additions, The Red House offers a wide choice of elegant apartments and cottages, stylishly designed for easy modern living.

Features such as luxury bathrooms and en-suites, fitted kitchens, spacious lounges and bedrooms bring comfort and convenienc­e to each property, enhanced by the best in fixtures and fittings.

Moving to The Red House is about more than purchasing a property, it is buying into a way of life – and with a restaurant, bar, lounge, library, gym and hair salon on site, everything necessary for a relaxed lifestyle is at hand.

There are also four-and-a-half acres of gardens, immaculate­ly maintained to offer beauty and tranquilit­y at all times of year.
