ERL exists to provide a necessary and desirable option for older people who wish to live their retirement in a safe but independent environment that offers bespoke private accommodation in serene garden settings, with a wide range of facilities on the doorstep, a busy social calendar of regular and special events, and support when needed from the friendly, 24-hour on-site teams. These teams, who are chosen not only for their skills but also their personalities, are committed to helping owners become part of a community where there is always someone to talk to and activities to enjoy, if they wish. Individual care and support services can be arranged, if required, the level of which can be personally tailored to people’s needs, allowing discerning retirees to live the life they deserve and to remain in their own homes for as long as they can. Our locations are chosen for their proximity to the wider amenities available and easily accessible in a nearby town or city, and have beautifully restored and refurbished historic buildings at their hearts. New-build properties, sympathetically designed to complement the surroundings, provide a wide choice of homes, which have spacious living areas, fully-fitted kitchens, and sleek bathrooms, all created with ease of use, safety and comfort in mind. The on-site facilities at each village include a restaurant, bar, lounge, library, craft/hobby room, gym, and treatment/hair salon, together with stunning landscaped grounds and gardens with wide pathways, seating, areas for social gatherings or more private relaxation, and raised garden beds for owners who wish to exercise their green fingers. Living in a community of like-minded people, where you have the freedom to do as you please and have everything you need within a stone's throw, plus the privacy afforded by your own front door and the peace of mind provided by knowing that support is there if you need it, all add up to the retirement you've dreamed of.
