Sellers Insight

"My grandmother was one of the first residents to move into Greenacres. She lived happily in her apartment for 24 years and enjoyed being an active member of the Greenacre community. The other residents are very welcoming and she became friends with many of them. After having downsized from a home that she loved, she never regretted her decision, and loved the convenience of being a short walk away from the Wellswood shops.

Nan’s apartment is bright, spacious, private and peaceful. She took great pleasure in opening the Juliette balcony window and looking at the view of the beautiful garden. Robins and squirrels were regular visitors and when she was less mobile, the outlook brought her much joy.

As a family, it was reassuring to know that Nan was safe and secure in an environment that was caring and where there were social events that she could get involved with. We have so many fond memories over the years and I am sure that whoever moves in to No11 will be very happy there."
