She was in a bungalow previously, which was a lovely home, but she wanted to have more people around her and enjoy the social life that comes with a retirement living apartment.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">She adds: <em>\u201cNow Mum has regular coffee mornings in the Owners\u2019 Lounge, a monthly fish &amp; chip night and plenty of other opportunities to meet up and socialise with her neighbours. She has a jigsaw puzzle partner who she sees most afternoons. My sister and I both visit regularly too for a catch up and a natter, and when we do it\u2019s great to see her making other new friends and enjoying good company in her retirement years.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Although Debs and her sister both live nearby, it gives them both peace of mind to know that Margaret is surrounded by other people she can depend on. <em>\u201cIt\u2019s reassuring to know the Lodge Manager is there to look after things,\u201d Debs adds. \u201cOther Churchill team members are never far away and her neighbours all look out for each other too. During lockdown she bubbled up with another Owner for company, and it was amazing for us to know that she was safe through what was a very difficult time for all of us.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Now that life is back to normal,<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.themediapeople.co.uk\/churchill2021\/retirement-apartments-for-sale\/sussex\/mcindoe-lodge\/\">McIndoe Lodge<\/a>\u2019<\/strong>s town centre location on Garland Road is another big positive. Debs says:<em> \u201cIt\u2019s brilliant for the shops, which mum can easily walk to for anything she needs. I got her a new shopping trolley which she wasn\u2019t keen on at first, but now she agrees it\u2019s the best thing ever \u2013 and I\u2019ve even got one myself!\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>\u201cWe all attended the McIndoe Lodge Summer Party recently and it was wonderful to see mum having fun in the beautiful garden and Owners\u2019 Lounge.
