Holdenhurst is a new development of 48 affordable, rental apartments offering ‘extra care’ sheltered housing. This means that you live independently, but with the option of taking additional services, if you need them. This helps to future-proof your move, enabling you to stay in your own home for longer.
About the apartments available at Holdenhurst
Built and managed by Abbeyfield South Downs, Holdenhurst offers one and two bed apartments finished to a high standard. With homely surroundings and excellent facilities, you will be able to enjoy an active and fulfilling life. Each apartment is completely self-contained with its own front door, providing privacy and security.
All of the apartments are fitted with Paula Rosa kitchens, a range of appliances, are centrally heated and have a state-of-the-art Tunstall digital security and communications system with 24/7 coverage. All tenants have access to our landscaped shared garden, with seating and patio area. Some apartments also have access to a balcony or small patio area. In some cases, we may even be able to accommodate your beloved pet.
What you need to know about extra care and our care-enabled approach at Holdenhurst
One of Holdenhurst’s special features, is that is a care-enabled complex, which means that should it be required, care can be brought in from outside providers. Traditionally, extra care means that your ‘landlord’ organises care for you onsite, but our approach leaves you free to take the services you choose to allow you to live active, fulfilling and happy lives.
The important thing is that Holdenhurst is enabled for care, so the environment is set up to make care possible, but not compulsory.
Why living in a care-enabled home may be the best move you ever make
Living at Holdenhurst would benefit any lifestyle as you could move in at a younger age and live fully independently or with some help around the home. It’s your choice! Holdenhurst could be your forever home as it could accommodate any changes you would like to make to your lifestyle, perhaps as your needs change as you age. We are confident that a move to Holdenhurst could be the best decision you’ll ever make.
How our clear pricing will help you budget effectively
The monthly charge is set at an affordable level, which means Housing Benefit awards will cover all of the rent and some of the service element. The monthly charge includes the service of onsite staff, the maintenance and upkeep of the building, as well as a two-course cooked meal every day. As a not for profit organisation, Holdenhurst will reinvest any surplus income back into the services provided.
For self-funders not in receipt of housing benefit, we are confident that our pricing will give you peace of mind on two levels – you will know what your costs will be each month and the monthly charge will be affordable and not leave you short.
