RETIREMENT
A DAY IN THE LIFE AT
Rapport Housing & Care ’ s Extra Care Housing Schemes
MEADOW VIEW COURT IN WATERINGBURY IS DUE TO OPEN IN NOVEMBER 2020
WITH THE PAST FEW MONTHS HIGHLIGHTING JUST HOW IMPORTANT A SAFE AND HAPPY HOME IS , UK HOUSE PRICES HAVE SOARED TO A RECORD HIGH AS THE COUNTRY ADAPTS TO THE NEW NORMAL AND HOMEOWNERS REASSESS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT FROM THEIR HOMES .
Homeworkers demanding office space , a release of pent-up demand and the stamp duty holiday have all played a role in the rise , so if you ’ re looking to make a move into retirement housing , now could be the ideal time to get your home on the market .
Making a move in later life can be daunting but for most who move in with us , they find the stresses of everyday life slip away . With no worries about maintaining the garden , cooking and cleaning up after meals , or managing the increasingly arduous stairs , they can do more of what they enjoy .
So , what does life look like as part of a retirement community ? With Rapport Housing & Care it is all about supporting you to live independently , with a focus on companionship and forging friendships .
Our schemes offer plenty of communal areas for residents to utilise , so you could start your day meeting a friend for a coffee in the garden or reading the paper in the lounge . Each scheme has an activity room too , should you wish to get stuck into a puzzle or challenge a friend to a board game .
A two-course lunch * is served in the main restaurant , where friends can get together and catch up over a tasty home-cooked meal . Many residents find this beneficial as they can enjoy a light tea later in the day and they don ’ t need to worry about cooking .
After lunch , perhaps you ’ ll enjoy a visit to the salon for a restyle or a manicure or join a group activity .
Schemes also have therapy rooms , for chiropody and massages . Housing staff support residents to arrange regular activities and whilst the choice is theirs , examples include anything from yoga and crafts to bingo and movie nights . Special occasions are always celebrated with a party and sometimes the restaurant team will join in too , such as hosting a cream tea during Wimbledon .
Above all , our team are there for you , to support you to live well . A member of housing staff is on site 24 / 7 , should an emergency arise and our care team , Caring Companions , are on site daily from 6am- 10pm to provide residents with tailored care and support packages *, so you and your loved ones will have peace of mind and you can relax and enjoy your golden years .
