Retirement properties are a crucial part of meeting the UK\u2019s housing challenge and Churchill\u2019s new development is a significant addition to the housing provision here in Sittingbourne. When I visited the site during construction I could see it was shaping up to be a nice development, and the finished product is very impressive!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Specialist retirement housing is proven to have a beneficial effect on older people\u2019s health and wellbeing, be it from being in a modern, warm, well insulated home to having a sense of community and helping to beat loneliness. It was also heartening to meet the new Owners now calling Beatrice Lodge home and hear so many positive stories from them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Churchill\u2019s new Beatrice Lodge development comprises 45 privately owned, self-contained apartments that are specially designed for the over 60s.\u00a0 Offering quality retirement accommodation and safe and independent living, the development is in a convenient location close to local shops and amenities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Apartments boast spacious rooms throughout and an ideal combination of design and functionality. The fully fitted, stylish kitchens include a built in fridge and freezer, hob and an oven, which is located at an easy-reach height. Owners also enjoy ultimate peace of mind from a fitted camera entry system and a 24 hour emergency call system.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more visit the Show Complex, open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm, call 01795 859 690 or visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.themediapeople.co.uk\/churchill2021\/\" class=\"ss-broken\">www.staging.themediapeople.co.uk\/churchill2021<\/a><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sittingbourne local MP, Gordon Henderson, joined us on Friday 22nd November to officially open our development in the town, Beatrice Lodge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14042,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[230],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.4 -
