Balshaw Court - Designed exclusively with the over 70’s in mind, this Retirement Living PLUS development allows you to carry on living independently in a home you own, with the help of on-site flexible care and support if you need it, plus the benefit of a Bistro style restaurant serving delicious meals from 10am to 6pm every day.
You can relax in the knowledge that with Retirement Living PLUS, the on-site team are on hand to provide assistance and flexible care and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The apartments are wheelchair friendly and you’ll find ovens and plug sockets set at waist height. There are easy to use lever taps and grab rails along the hallways, making getting around easier.
You’ll also find a secure charging and storage area for mobility scooters. Peace of mind also comes from a door entry system linked to your TV, so you can see who’s there before letting anyone in, and an intruder alarm, allowing you to relax in the knowledge that you’re safe and secure. The spacious Homeowners lounge is ideal for leading a full and active social life with both fellow homeowners and friends and family.
If your guests have travelled from afar, they can extend their stay by booking into the development Guest Suite (usually for a fee of £25 per night - subject to availability) which has an en-suite shower room, tea and coffee making facilities and a TV.
