Summary

Kenton Lodge was developed by McCarthy & Stone for retirement living plus, formally known as assisted living. The development consists of 53 one and two-bedroom retirement apartments for the over 70s with design features to make day-to-day living easier and incorporates the original period building with its abundance of original features including a grand staircase, ornate fireplaces, decorative ceilings and wood panelled walls in the dining room. Further communal areas include the conservatory accessed via a glass walkway which connects the new building to the old; the Homeowner’s lounge which is always open and a lovely place to meet up with friends, family and neighbours, or join in the many activities organised by homeowners and the Estate Management team; the function room which can be booked for celebrations or events and our table service restaurant which is open every day and serves freshly prepared and nutritious lunches for our homeowners and their friends and family, at a very reasonable price (special dietary requirements can be catered for).
There is also a laundry room, mobility scooter store and beautifully landscaped gardens with a variety of seating areas including a large terrace off the dining room and lifts to all floors.
Our apartments have been specifically designed to make day-to-day living easier. This includes beautifully equipped kitchens with waist height ovens to minimise bending, walk-in showers for ease of use, simple lever taps and slip resistant flooring. As well as the privacy of your own apartment, there’s the opportunity to lead a full and active social life in the homeowners’ lounge.

For peace of mind, there is an Estates Manager on site and a cqc registered care team, with someone on-site 24 hours a day. Within the apartments is a 24-hour emergency call system provided via a personal pendant alarm and with call points in the bathroom, hallway and bedroom.
