First couple to move into Market Drayton's new retirement community say 'put family first'

Ron and his wife had been living in their bungalow in Marden, Kent, which they had loved for ten years for its spectacular coastal views and large garden. They had moved closer to the sea to retire after working and raising their family in Manchester, but with both of them recently turning 80, they started to look at their priorities for the future - the key being closer to their family.

“We didn’t have to wait long for neighbours to join us - the next day, just down the corridor, two more homeowners moved in. We all slowly got acquainted with one another, and the more we came together, you could really see we were becoming a great little community, helping one another adjust. We’ve really made some great friends here”.

Ron jokes how they’re busier now in their retirement apartment than they ever were in their bungalow in Kent and puts that down to the community of homeowners at Joules Place. Ron says: “With so many activities, if we’re not taking part in the coffee mornings, we’re at the games afternoons, and the fish and chip nights.
