BUSINESS Enjoy a Sociable and Low Maintenance Lifestyle WITH CHURCHILL WITH A MOVE TO ONE OF CHURCHILL RETIREMENT LIVING’S NEW RETIREMENT DEVELOPMENTS YOU GET MORE THAN JUST A NEW APARTMENT, IT’S A WHOLE NEW WAY OF LIFE. YOU’LL HAVE A COMFORTABLE, SECURE PLACE TO LIVE, WITH THE OPTION TO SOCIALISE WITH OTHER OWNERS AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU LIKE. PERHAPS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BENEFITS IS THAT YOU WON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MAINTENANCE ANY MORE. WITH NEW CHURCHILL DEVELOPMENTS ACROSS KENT TO CHOOSE FROM INCLUDING DARTFORD, DEAL, TONBRIDGE, SITTINGBOURNE, MAIDSTONE AND ELTHAM, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? At this time of year, keeping the house and garden maintained is probably the last thing you want to think about. If you own a large house then it can be a year-round job, and it can be a real burden when you’d rather just relax and enjoy your retirement years. 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. Low maintenance living means a real weight off your mind, giving you more time to do the things you want to do, and enjoy the retirement you deserve. However, it doesn’t have to be that way! With a brand new Churchill Retirement Living 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 keep everything comfortable for you. Churchill owner, Sheila Laming, has been doing just that since her move to Beatrice Lodge in Sittingbourne, from a house just around the corner. She says: “My husband and I moved to our house on Gaze Hill as newlyweds 65 years ago. I never dreamt I’d come here to Beatrice Lodge, but my two sons made the decision for me, they decided Mum needed some company! Now I’m here it turns out they were right, I’m really enjoying my new lifestyle and have re-connected with some people I hadn’t seen for years. One of my new neighbours is a local lad who I hadn’t seen since he was a teenager!” That local lad is John Cooper, and he and his wife Carol have also enjoyed getting to know their new neighbours. “Everyone here is very friendly and we all get on well,” says Carol. “There’s lots going on in the Owners’ Lounge during the week, and we can all join in doing what we like, when we like. We’re also very lucky to have Abigail our lodge manager to look after everything for us.” If the idea of a sociable and low maintenance lifestyle appeals to you, you can find out more about moving to a new Churchill Retirement Living apartment in various Kent locations by calling 0800 458 1857 or visiting churchillretirement.co.uk. 153
