What are the benefits of retirement living?
Retirement living at Santhem Residences offers an independent, active and social lifestyle. With all you need on your doorstep, you’ll enjoy a luxurious lifestyle with outstanding convenience. Plus, there’s the peace of mind in knowing that if you need more support to keep living at home, it’s right here on-hand.
Who can live in a retirement home?
Santhem Residences offer luxury retirement apartments to those aged 65 or over. You don’t have to be retired (although most of our guests are!), and both single occupants and couples are most welcome. Our generously sized apartments and penthouses offer one or two bedrooms so you can choose the retirement property that best fits your lifestyle.
What’s the difference between independent living and senior living?
At Santhem Residences, we offer properties for independent retirement living. This means that, unlike senior living communities, you’ll continue to meet your day-to-day needs whilst enjoying a low-maintenance property, complete with outstanding on-site facilities.
