Moving from a large family home to something easier to manage raises a lot of questions and triggers some powerful emotions . The practical side of our brain tells us the earlier we do it , the better we are – physically , socially and financially . Yet , understandably it ’ s not a task anyone undertakes lightly .
So , you will be glad to know that the team at Birchgrove are there to help you with your questions and explore what ’ s important to you going forward – at your pace .
Birchgrove operates a portfolio of assisted living communities within and around the M25 , offering contemporary self-contained apartments in brandnew , purpose-built facilities .
You ’ ll find Birchgrove apartments are spacious and more importantly future-designed to meet all your needs in later life – without compromising on style . Our onsite facilities are extensive and include : club room and library , kitchen brasserie , snug bar , wellness and fitness studio , salon , guest suite , and landscaped gardens and raised beds , including a greenhouse for keen gardeners .
Our monthly events calendar ensures there is something for everyone ; whether lively group activities , or quiet spaces for personal pursuits and reflection .
Everyone has a different reason for moving to us . Location is a big driver ; people want to stay close to family and friends and live in an area they are familiar with so they can get out and about confidently . They also want to live in a place they feel safe , where people are on hand to help – plus have that all-important opportunity to be around others and socialise .
Accessibility is another key point and all who visit – without exception – say ‘ WOW ’ when they visit our show suites and see the apartments are not only beautiful but future-designed to be practical and accessible . Every detail has been thought through to ensure you have a home in which you can live independently , securely and happily .
On the subject of future planning , we work with senior move specialists and independent financial advisors ( IFAs ) – people who have the expertise to understand your personal needs best and provide advice that is right for you and your family .
