Pros

Security, care and companionship. Not having to worry about maintenance inside or out.

Cons

Lost Independence with decision making living within the village.

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

There doesn't seem to be a cycle of how often gardens are weeded which is frustrating and the standard of gardens between the gardeners is telling. My neighbours front garden on one side is woeful and the neighbour on the other has got in help from outside the village. Large bushes are only cut back if asked. A gardener should see the things that need doing and not wait to be asked. I get frustrated because I cant do it myself because of a back injury.

Everyone doing a magnificent job. Place runs well. Gardens gorgeous. Service when required, first class. I came to Julia Wallace at age 85. I had just had shingles - a very bad dose and my family said it would be a good idea. And it was. My husband died 11 years ago and despite having lots of friends and a full and busy life - I was lonely. Many of my friends could no longer come to me so I visited them. This choice of this place has been amazing. I love it here and am very busy.
