The award-winning UK retirement communities, operated by LifeCare Residences, provide vibrant places to not only live, but to fully embrace and enjoy the time afforded by retirement. Following a lifetime dedicated to a career, many residents enjoy the luxury of time to appreciate the pastimes and hobbies they’ve longed to enjoy. At all LifeCare Residences’ communities, residents benefit from the services of a lifestyle coordinator who organises local excursions, talks from visiting speakers on a variety of topics as well as on-site activities and functions. Many new residents find their social circle expanding once again, while day-to-day living is made easy and as maintenance-free as possible. With numerous opportunities to socialise, including during meals, leisure experiences and outings, many residents find a restored sense of purpose and joy in their social lives once they move in. For example, Grove Place a beautiful retirement community in the rural Hampshire countryside, is now home to retirees Elaine and Philip Gaussen. The couple made the move to begin the next chapter in their lives and have never looked back as they thoroughly embrace the buzz and sense of community. Elaine adds, “We hadn’t realized how strong the Grove Place community was before we arrived. It’s so lovely to have nice friends and neighbours to socialise with. Everyone is so kind, and we feel at home here.”
