Testimonial

Moving into Peel Court in 2019 was the best decision my dad could have made. His own lovely apartment gave him the independence that mattered so much to him, while still allowing him to be part of a welcoming community.
He could choose to join in outings, whether to London shows or simply spending time with others in the beautiful communal areas. Lunchtimes in the restaurant were always a pleasure, though he also valued the option of having meals delivered to his apartment when he wished.
The staff were consistently kind, helpful, and went above and beyond always with a smile.
My dad often spoke with great affection about how much he enjoyed living at Peel Court and it brought him real happiness. It’s been a real family home within a retirement complex.
