Please don't treat the independent living people as though we don't exist, we are told we are on our own and to fend for ourselves.

Pros

Where do I start! Dont believe everythingthat the sales lady tells, lovely as she is therecannot be any communication between her and those in charge of the running of the place. We dont have the windows washed as often as advised, the signs say 'welcome home' but its not home as we know how it used to be, we have to ask permission to do ANY thing, put up a shelf, etc etc. You will be told how good it is to have the alarm bells in case you have an accident, not so , we are told call st John ambo

"Once we were happy"

Thinking.Read more

Pros

Thinking.

Cons

If you are considering living in this village be aware that you are quite likely to be bullied by others, I was very happy here, told I could come with my pets which I did., When your pets are used to having their own fully fenced in yard believe me its very hard for them to adjust to no fences, oh they say you can put up trellises, gates but they say who the contractor is that will do the work , be prepared for additional charges on top. Have to give the manager his due he tries .

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

Not sure what to put here, but please remember that we are all living here almost of top of each other and some consideration needs to be given to those who want to live a quiet life in peace, some of us are not men.
