For many, moving to a retirement community involves downsizing, but at LifeCare Residences’ communities there is always room to accommodate the family in the well-appointed guest apartments which are ideal for visiting family as they are also able to get involved in the vast array of activities on-site as well as enjoying the many attractions on the doorstep. Battersea Place sits a stone’s throw away from the vast Battersea Park, boasting 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 can 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 can 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 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.”
