Sellers Insight

"Mum enjoyed extensive independence and freedom, with safety and peace of mind, as well as a lively social life, at Whitley Court. The flat is peaceful, spacious, thoughtfully designed, sunny and bright all year round.
Attractive planting outside the large picture windows provide privacy, coupled with views into the garden and wide open skies, all enjoyed from the comfort of her arm chair, or by easy level access into the gardens, close by.

Exercise classes, music sessions, crafts, celebrations, coffee mornings, and more, in the beautifully maintained communal spaces, were excellent opportunities for activity and connection with the many friends Mum made living here. And she regularly invited visitors to join her at the restaurant or for gatherings she was able to continue to host.

Stopping right outside Whitley Court, the Torbay minibus service is friendly and super helpful, and the possibility to increase support, as needed, from the excellent in-house care team, is so valuable."
