We are very happy to say that our Holdenhurst scheme, offering 48 one and two-bedroom apartments, is now open. Holdenhurst offers all our tenants the chance to enjoy an independent, active life in modern, homely surroundings. Our new tenants and staff have already managed to create a supportive, vibrant and like-minded community and have enjoyed some wonderful community events, in the last couple of months. Meals and socialising over themed culinary evenings, barbeques, lunch or dinner or just with a cuppa, are all a big part of life at Holdenhurst. The restaurant provides delicious, nutritious cooked meals, a rotating menu, and the perfect opportunity to socialise. A huge benefit of living at Holdenhurst is the fact the monthly charge includes a two-course meal daily and speciality coffee and drinks. This means you don’t have to think about cooking if you don’t want to. To find out more about our Holdenhurst scheme, you can visit the website and use our contact form to register your interest. #retirementcommunity #communitymatters #endloneliness #over60 #over65 #keepactive #mentalhealthmatters l #sussex #eastsussex #agingparents #elderlyparents #elderlycare #retirementlifestyle #retirementhouse #retirementlife #independentliving #supportedhousing #supportedliving #retirementliving #eastsussex #sussex #tunbridgewells #alfriston #hove #brightonandhove #heathfield

Loneliness in later life is increasingly common, but it doesn't have to be. Read our 6 tips for staying social, engaged and in touch! Loneliness isn’t something we ever want our loved ones to experience, but there are so many ways for older people to remain social, engaged, and in touch with the outside world. We are sharing 6 tips for staying social: Number six: Join a community: Being part of a community of like-minded people is the gold standard for staying social. Living alone, when cut off from other people, can take a serious toll on a person’s health. Having peers within reach, social events to look forward to, and dining with others (all while completely retaining independence) can significantly improve quality of life. And we know it’s daunting. But if you’re worried about someone not living life to the full, a positive community could provide an uplifting new phase in your loved one’s life.: Do you have any top tips of your own? #retirementcommunity #communitymatters #endloneliness #over60 #over65 #keepactive #mentalhealthmatters l #sussex #eastsussex #agingparents #elderlyparents #elderlycare #retirementlifestyle #retirementhouse #retirementlife #independentliving #supportedhousing #supportedliving #retirementliving #eastsussex #sussex #tunbridgewells #alfriston #hove #brightonandhove #heathfield

Our latest blog, on our Holdenhurst website, focus

Our latest blog, on our Holdenhurst website, focuses on Gill and Colm, two of the first residents to move in when the scheme opened in April. Gill and Colm are part of a new group, at our Holdenhurst scheme, "Friends at Holdenhurst" and are already starting to help plan and organise future events. They are thoroughly enjoying their new life, telling us, "...it’s lovely to meet new people. We’ve met people who are local, from Horam and the surrounding area, and also a lady who’s moved down from the North West to be closer to family. It’s nice to pop along for a coffee and a chat.” To find out more about life in our Holdenhurst scheme.

Have you ever thought of taking up a new musical instrument later in life? Researchers at Hanover Medical School, Germany looked at if piano lessons could stave off dementia by strengthening brain tissue that degrades when memory problems set in. Scientists enlisted the help of 121 men and women in their sixties and seventies who had never played an instrument before. Before and after the trial, each participant underwent a brain scan to assess changes in the fornix. Some participants took part in the piano lessons and some did not, Those who did not take lessons had a significant decline in white matter density, increasing their chances of developing dementia and memory problems. The research seemed to suggest that the piano lessons helped strengthen white matter, which is a type of brain structure that deteriorates when memory and attention difficulties arise. #retirementcommunity #CommunityLove #agingparents #elderlyparents #abbeyfieldsociety #independentliving #supportedhousing #supportedliving #retirementliving #retirementlife #retirementhome #shelteredhousing #supportedliving #retirement #olderpeoplematter #brightonandhove #eastsussex #seniorcommunity #Eastbourne #Hove
