Boasting an enviable location, beautiful views and an exclusive offering for the over sixties, it’s easy to see why McCarthy & Stone’s Assisted Living development Nelson Court in Gravesend is proving so popular. But with over 75 per cent of apartments now sold, time is running out to secure a property.
Ideal for the retired buyer who is looking for daily assistance to enable them to live in their home for longer, Nelson Court, which is located on Glen View, comprises 61 properties, each benefiting from a well-thought out design to help residents maintain independence in later life.
In addition to features included in McCarthy & Stone’s standard retirement apartments, such as 24-hour emergency Careline call points, electrical sockets at a raised height and video entry systems, the Assisted Living apartments at Nelson Court extend this offering further to provide additional support for those individuals who require it.
The apartments are on average 10 per cent larger at Nelson Court than the standard to allow for wheelchair access. Beautifully decorated throughout, the one and two bedroom apartments also benefit from a level access shower and separate bath with grab rails, slip resistant vinyl flooring and an electrically operated kitchen window. An estates manager, 24-hour on-site staff, a waitress service restaurant offering a three course meal, everyday of the year, a residents’ lounge, a guest suite for visiting family and friends, lifts to all floors and a laundry room are also located at the development.
Furthermore, residents can benefit from an hour of domestic assistance each week as part of their service charge, whether that’s help with chores or getting the weekly shop in, and a personal care plan can be put in place so that nursing professionals can come into the development as much as is required by the resident.
Wendy Slingo, sales and marketing director for McCarthy & Stone South East, attributes Nelson Court’s success not only to this unique offering, but also its fantastic location. She explains: “Until recently, people having problems with daily living have had no choice other than to move in with family or into residential care or a nursing home, which can be stressful and a financial strain.
“Our Assisted Living development in Gravesend provides an alternative by bridging the gap between conventional retirement living developments and residential care and this is a very attractive proposition to many people considering their options in later life.
“Couple this with stunning views and a great location and you can see why Nelson Court ticks all the boxes for our purchasers! It really does offer retirees the best of both worlds. However these final apartments won’t be around for much longer so do come and see us now to make sure you don’t miss out!”
Nelson Court is conveniently situated in Windmill Hill, a pleasant residential area renowned for its spectacular views of the River Thames.
