A brand new development of first-class retirement apartments is combined with comprehensive residential, dementia and nursing care support to form a fantastic range of facilities for the people of Ruddington and the surrounding areas. The ‘Retirement Village’ concept has been developed by My Care, who have long been associated with delivering great care across the Nottingham and East Midlands region.
The company has had a long association with Ruddington and is keen to offer the best possible care choices for the local community. Whatever your care needs now, or in the future, Ruddington Retirement Village can help and support you and your family, with a comprehensive range of accommodation and care provision.
Many local families will be familiar with the three care homes that form part of the Retirement Village; Balmore Country House, St Peter’s Care Home and Orchard House – all of which are situated close to the heart of Ruddington. What may not be so well known is that they coordinate advice and admissions so that every family that needs care for a loved one can be sure that they get the most appropriate recommendation about care and support.
Widening the care choice available is a new apartment development, now fully open, the Ruddington Retirement Apartments. These have been built in the extensive grounds of Balmore Country House on Loughborough Road.
These new Retirement Apartments can help enhance someone’s experience of later life. They are all designed to make living easier for you, as well as being built to a very high standard. Every detail has been carefully thought out from access to care support, through to individual fixtures and fittings. The Retirement Village has also made sure that you are able to easily meet and socialise with other apartment residents by designing a great range of communal facilities.
Lynn Jewell, My Care’s Operations Officer, explains the thinking behind the new scheme.
“We know that people want to have access to good care and support when they need it, but they don’t necessarily want to give up their feeling of independence, of having a place they can call their own. They may not be ready to make the move to a residential home, and so searching for the correct solution has been difficult for them.”
The apartments offer independence, backed up by care that can be purchased as and when it is needed, on a completely flexible basis. As someone’s care needs increase as they get older, the Retirement Village has the three care homes in the village, offering a choice between residential, dementia and nursing care (or a combination), whichever is required.
Lynn believes The Ruddington Retirement Apartments may be just what people need.
“We hope that the local community will see that we are trying to provide a completely comprehensive set of care choices for them. Taking the step into letting someone care for you can be difficult, stressful and full of trepidation. We are here to help people make the right choice and offer them alternatives so that they can enjoy their later years, leading as full and rich a life as possible.”
