Manager's notes: At The Croft you'll find a choice of 20 well designed apartments to rent for couples and individuals over 55. If you are enjoying retirement or perhaps living alone, but want to move to a place where you can feel more secure and meet new people, then The Croft could be just what you're looking for. Each home comes with a fitted kitchen, bathroom, living area, and one bedroom. And for added security each internal apartment has a door entry system which means that you can choose who to want to let in. There is a lift to the upper floor as well as car parking if required. Each property has an emergency alarm system, operated by a pullcord or pendant. This means you can call for help 24 hours a day. So, it's good to know that if you suddenly become ill or have a fall, you won't be alone. Scheme staff are available throughout the week. They can help arrange or signpost you to organise social activities, care services, shopping, cooking and cleaning if that is what you require. On site you'll also find a resident's lounge - perfect for coffee Manager: Update Update info Add vacancies Created: 01/05/2018 08:02:11 Page 1
