It’s A Family Affair

With beautifully designed rooms, a plethora of activities and a friendly and supportive community, Lynwood delivers a superior retirement lifestyle on many levels, as Tania Jacobs discovers

It’s often the sons and daughters of Lynwood Village homeowners who first start the conversation about moving. Mum or Dad might be unwilling to broach the subject of selling the family home, so their children float the idea because they know something needs to change. Maybe the house is too big, the garden is difficult to maintain or perhaps the family is worried that their loved one spends too much time alone. Often there are underlying health issues. Whatever the reason, moving to a retirement village with a friendly community and inbuilt support can solve a multitude of problems.

Designed to make life easier for people in their later years, the homes at Lynwood Village include subtle features that help with daily life, such walk-in shower rooms. Well designed and well-built homes mean no mental checklist of to-dos. When family come to visit, the focus is all about quality time together.

Individuals who move to Lynwood often say that it’s a relief not to have to worry about maintaining their garden. Fortunately, Lynwood is blessed with beautiful outside spaces, from the English Garden to the ancient woodland at the rear of the village, so residents can fully enjoy time outdoors.

Worrying about loved ones being lonely and isolated is another frequent concern for families who are often busy with work and looking after their own children to visit regularly. This, too, is a problem solved by moving to Lynwood because one of the best aspects about the village is its friendly and supportive community. There is always something to do, somewhere to be and someone to talk to.

Support that is easy to access, is another source of peace of mind for Lynwood Village owners and their families. On a day-to day basis, there are staff onsite 24-hours a day, so there is always someone around who can help. The onsite Care and Support team can also provide assistance to anyone who needs regular support to carry on living independently; whether that’s a short burst of care following an operation or a longer-term support package.
