Life gets better every day

As he sits back in the Grove Place garden, sipping a celebratory glass of Champagne, Bernard Curtis is a picture of contentment. “Life is getting better every day since I came to Grove Place. I moved in by wheelchair, after having some rather complicated heart surgery, and now, here I am, walking virtually normally, and looking forward to a pleasant afternoon chatting with my new found friends,” he says.

Bernard’s passage to Grove Place came courtesy of his son, who having read about the Romsey retirement village in a national newspaper, drove down immediately to check it out. He thought it ticked all the right boxes for Bernard, and wasted no time in returning to show him round, before generously putting the deposit down for his father’s one bedroom apartment.

Bernard continues: “The care team here have been great during my recovery, and I have also found the other residents to be understanding and supportive. And when I feel like some company, there is always plenty going on in the Grove Place Manor House.”

There are a few remaining apartments and bungalows for sale; prospective 60 year plus residents can choose between a 1 bedroom bungalow and 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartment, ranging from £175,000- £499,999. All the properties are linked to the 24-hour care team, who will provide assistance at the push of a button.
