How independent lifestyle support services work
Before moving into your retirement Living Plus property you’ll be offered a confidential wellbeing assessment. That means, if needed, your support package will be there from the moment you move in.
- Personalised support is available 24 hours a day every day of the year.
- Selected services are available in 15-minute increments.
- You can have as much support as you need, when you need it.
- The level of service can go up and down – so, for instance, you may need extra help if you are ill, which will stop when you feel better.
- Your care will be regularly reviewed to ensure it meets your needs.
- You only pay for the services you use.
Person-centred care from people you know and trust
The caring teams are dedicated to you and your development, meaning you’ll build strong relationships with them.
- They have a genuine understanding of your needs, will listen and can adapt services with you.
- They are specifically trained to be able to respond quickly to a medical emergency – and the 24/7 emergency call system in your apartment gives you the peace of mind knowing help is there is you need it.
- Services are regulated by the Care Quality Commission in England (in Scotland and Wales the care regulator is the Care Inspector)

“Josh Billinge (Resales Property Consultant) and Callum Bailey (Resales Sales Progressor) were great from start to finish. I really appreciated the way they helped me navigate the final stages of the buying process, particularly in getting everything over the line in time for the moving date we were hoping for. Callum’s guidance, reassurance and chasing people up at the end made a real difference. Both Josh and Callum were friendly and reliable so I’d like to say a big thank you.”

“I have recently used McCarthy Stone Resales to sell my mother’s apartment. The service I received from Julie Samuels was outstanding. She was a pleasure to deal with and did everything she promised. Julie is a huge asset to the company, thank you again.”

“We have just sold my mother’s apartment at Coopers Court, Yate. My son and I have been very impressed with our selling experience through McCarthy Stone Resales from the moment the property was put on the market, until it completed. We were kept fully informed throughout the process and we felt that the Resales team were doing all that they could to help us sell the property. A special mention goes to Julie the Sales Progressor, who worked very hard and gave 110% in helping to manage the process through to a successful completion. We would highly recommend McCarthy Stone Resales as selling agents.”

“My mother-in-law moved into Edward Place in 2021 and loved her apartment, the friendly community, and the activities. When her health declined, the team provided exceptional care and support. We highly recommend Edward Place for its facilities and the kindness of everyone there.”

“At Martin Court, Grantham, our House Manager Julie does an incredible job supporting residents and always goes above and beyond her role. She works tirelessly to accommodate everyone’s needs and regularly organises events in her own time. Our recent coffee morning was well attended and full of fun, games and laughter, something we all value more than ever. We truly appreciate everything Julie does for our community.”

“I am extremely happy with the excellent service provided by the McCarthy Stone Resales team throughout the sales process of our apartment at McKinlay Court in Kettering. Although McCarthy Stone Resales are slightly more expensive than the other high street agents, this has proven to be money well-spent and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

“The team at McCarthy Stone Resales were incredibly friendly and helpful, from our very first enquiry to the completion of our property purchase at River View Court. The service provided throughout was excellent. Thank you for your assistance.”
