Traditionally, as we entered later life, there was the looming discussion of moving into a care home as your needs changed and living at home became that much more difficult.
Luckily, today there are plenty more options available to choose from that allow you to keep your independence whilst having access to the support you might need.
One of these is a retirement community, which allows you to have your own home and keep the things that make it feel like your own, whilst having assistance and care at hand for when you need a bit of help or support.
Why move into a retirement village?
Retirement villages (or retirement homes) are property developments built especially for people in later life. They provide high-quality homes for those who wish to live independently in a safe and comfortable environment.
Our apartments here at Birchgrove are designed to not only be nice to look at, but easy to use too.
We offer one, two and three bedroom apartments that are smart, comfortable, light and secure – perfect for those who are looking for a home that’s a bit more manageable.
You’ll also find a community of like-minded independent people in later life who enjoy socialising and making the most of the facilities available at Birchgrove – whilst being able to maintain your own privacy when you want it.

Plenty of facilities to keep you occupied
We’re more than just lovely apartments. We’ve got a great range of additional facilities on offer too.
Our gardens allow you to keep your green-fingers busy or just feel the grass under your toes, whilst our onsite restaurant is perfect for the times you don’t feel like cooking, as our chefs are more than happy to!
We also have a wellness and fitness suite, club room, library and much more. All of which are available for you to enjoy, right on your doorstep.
Our 'inclusive' rent
We offer our retirement properties solely for rent. There are no stamp duty costs or legal conveyancing fees, or the stress associated with purchasing a property. There’s no pressure to buy, and you need only give two months’ notice should you wish to leave.
The Birchgrove rental model covers all the large-ticket expenses like energy costs – electricity, heating and water – and many of the rising incidental costs that go along with owning your own home e.g. housekeeping, broadband, window cleaning, gardening, buildings insurance, security and a whole host of other things.
