Central Bedfordshire Council: Apartments available at exciting new development for over 55’s in Sandy

Date Added: 04/10/2021

Applications are now open for brand new apartments in Quince Court, in Sandy – an independent living facility for over 55’s.

Built by specialist housing provider, Grand Union Housing Group, the development will have 25 new apartments available to rent through the council and is due to open this autumn. The new apartments have been added to the 30 existing properties that are part of the Extra Care scheme, which offers support to customers over 55 who have care or support needs, enabling them to live securely in their own home.

Quince Court encourages independent living, providing modern homes that are low maintenance in a secure environment, and encouraging residents to make friends with people of a similar age with similar interests. With tailored care and support available to those who need it, independent living schemes can support people to remain in their homes for longer.

The spacious new one-bedroom apartments each have their own front door and outside space. First-floor apartments come with a dual aspect balcony while those on the ground floor benefit from a dual aspect terrace.

The scheme has been designed with accessibility in mind; all areas are wheelchair friendly and accessible for those with a disability.

Every apartment is fitted with a system which acts as a 24-hour emergency alarm and video door entry system. The development features upgraded smoke detectors and each resident can also wear a pendant connected to the system in case of emergency.
