Representatives from Age Concern Boldmere visited Broadleaf House in Wylde Green last week to meet with some of the homeowners and staff who raised funds for the local charity in the run up to Christmas.

Ellen McGinn, Guidance Co-ordinator, and Kirsty Homer, Service Manager, from Age Concern were presented with a cheque for £425 raised by homeowners, guests and staff who hosted a festive gathering at the exclusive retirement community, from Adlington Retirement Living.

The event was a huge success, attracting more than 50 attendees to enjoy festive baguettes, mince pies and a selection of hot and cold drinks whilst local singer songwriter Daniel performed in the restaurant, and a raffle added to the fun.

Graham, a homeowner at Broadleaf House, who had already received the invaluable help of Age Concern with the daunting process of applying for a 'blue badge' said: “It was great to see so many people meet together in support of such a worthy organisation. We all enjoyed our time together, appreciating some festive treats and the opportunity to express our support of Age Concern which does so much important work in our community”. 

Alexandra Johnson, Sales and Marketing Director for Adlington Retirement Living said: “We were delighted to welcome so many homeowners and guests to our festive gathering and to raise funds for Age Concern. It was a wonderful, relaxed occasion, bringing together our homeowners, guests and even some local businesses who attended.

“Moving into an Adlington Retirement Living apartment is far more than just relocating to a new home. It's an opportunity to become part of a thriving community and enjoy the support of a close-knit network. Our communities provide a safe, secure and happy environment with a circle of friends, a family of like-minded individuals, and a true sense of belonging.”

Broadleaf House offers a range of 57 age-exclusive one, two and three-bedroomed apartments. Communal facilities include a homeowners' lounge, coffee lounge, on-site restaurant, hair salon, therapy room, and activities studio, all of which can be used by homeowners as an extension of their own private apartments.

Adlington Retirement Living also provides an on-site management team available 24hours a day, 365 days a year. Like a good neighbour, the team is the first point of contact for any problems, large or small, and always goes the extra mile to help.

The management team offers homeowners added peace of mind, with the ability to arrange optional tailored personal care packages, whenever they are required, either now or in the future. Additional safety features include a sophisticated emergency call system and a secure video entry system to manage access into the building.
