Retirement housing Moving to your own home within one of our Christian communities enables you to retain your independence with the extra support and security you need as you grow older. Our schemes offer different levels of support and there is flexibility within each scheme to purchase wellbeing packages to create just the right service for you. Most of our properties, depending on location, also benefit from communal facilities such as laundry, lounge, gardens or a guest room for families and friends for an overnight stay. You will find the facilities available at each scheme on the page for that scheme. To find a property that is right browse through our Locations section Retirement Living We offer a wide range Retirement Living places available to rent at affordable prices. The different types of accommodation ranges from bungalows set in their own gardens to apartments within easy reach of a town centre, so you’ll find something to suit you and your needs. With your own front door, you’re free to come and go as you please. You’ll have the opportunity to meet new friends and benefit from support or help if or when you need it. Family and friends are welcome to come and see you at any time. If friends and family coming for a longer visit or travelling from further afield to see you, they can stay overnight, as many of our Retirement Living places have guest rooms available for a small charge.
