Wendy Francis-Wood, 89, is a retiree who moved into a two-bedroom apartment at Mill View last summer. She lives with osteoarthritis and said that she is reassured by the professional healthcare support offered on the premises.

“The good thing is it has stopped my family worrying about me,” Wendy said. “They know I’m in good hands – we’ve got 24-hour care here. “And I don’t worry anymore either, because I know if I fall there’s somebody here to help me.”

Wendy visits the restaurant for a meal every day, which she says is a “social hub” for residents to get to know one another.

“I’m convinced it keeps the place together,” she said. “You get to meet people and everybody chats to you. I’ve made lots of friends.”
