OWNERS INSIGHT

"My Dad moved to Whitley Court in July, he loved the flat, it has a lovely position with a south facing balcony. He joined in the activities that were provided by the lovely staff like a music afternoon, enjoying music from all eras, bingo and resident meetings. The restaurant on site provides really tasty meals or sandwiches and the best desserts, my dad loved their Lemon Meringue pie and also fruit crumble. The flat is very close to Paignton, a short drive to the seafront or a short bus ride, there is a bus stop right outside the building. All the staff who work there are lovely and took Dad to their hearts straight away. Dad was only there a short while as he sadly passed away in September but it’s a great place to live."
