Birchgrove, the award-winning specialist developer, is revolutionising retirement communities with its innovative approach to later living.

Grounded in a belief system that views the current housing options for over 65s as inadequate, Birchgrove fills a gap in the market by offering "assisted living for rent".

Though it may not be the perfect solution for all, Birchgrove’s unique approach, provides a solution for over 65s who prefer not to navigate another house purchase.

These modern apartments come with assured tenancies for occupants who opt to make Birchgrove their primary home.

According to Birchgrove, inhabitants appreciate "both the security and flexibility" this provision offers.

It allows them to stay in their homes as long as they desire.

In addition, it furnishes a feeling of security and eliminates any fear of eviction.

Moreover, the all-inclusive rental model covers significant expenses such as electricity, heating and water.

It also factors in the extra costs that come with home ownership, namely housekeeping, broadband, window cleaning, gardening, building insurance, security, among others.

All this at no additional service charge.

Birchgrove only requires an inclusive rent payment and a single joining fee.

Another point to note is that no two Birchgrove developments will resemble each other.

Birchgrove insists that every property should be as unique as the individuals and the community it accommodates.

Therefore, each community is cleverly designed to satiate the needs of ageing individuals while also characterising the local area.

Living in an apartment comes with its perks.

One does not have to worry about lawn mowing or gardening but can still enjoy serene surroundings.

Most apartments either have a balcony, patio or access to a communal terrace.

Birchgrove has also given detailed thought to communal areas where residents can assemble, relax and engage with the surroundings.

Dining arrangements add to the charm of living.

On-site chefs cook up fresh meals, often garnished with home-grown herbs and vegetables, delighting the more green-fingered residents.

Moreover, wellness studios, beautifully landscaped gardens, and a calendar of regular events and recreational activities ensure the residents stay active and content within their community.
