For many, moving to a retirement community involves downsizing. At LifeCare Residences there is always room to accommodate visiting family in the guest apartments, enabling them to get involved in the vast array of activities on-site. Battersea Place is a stone’s throw away from the vast Battersea Park, with its own zoo, as well as being a short drive from the famous Natural History and Science Museums. Caroline Hamilton retired to a two-bedroom apartment in Battersea Place, the first luxury retirement community in London after selling her five-bedroom family home and has never looked back. Enjoying a spacious apartment in addition to an array of communal activities, she is able to host and entertain family and friends frequently. “My family are greeted warmly at Battersea Place. I have a lovely home and I really appreciate the support of all the lovely staff. The fact that my family are able to visit often is the icing on the cake – I can enjoy my easier, more relaxed lifestyle and still have my children and grandchildren over to stay as I would do in my old house.” Caroline’s apartment at Battersea Place makes the ideal destination for younger summer visitors, as she concludes, “My grandchildren love coming to visit because we can all go out exploring together. Last time some of them came, we tried to squeeze in as many museums as possible. Needless to say, my granddaughter also loves being close to all the shops along the Kings Road.”
