Testimonials
“We’re so glad we moved into Retirement Living when we did. Even though we both still work we’re hoping we’ve got many years to enjoy our life here together, and when we do retire in two to three years, we’ve got plenty to keep us busy. We live very close to a gym that I love to go to, and we’re also in a great location for the Shirley retail parks and Solihull town centre for shopping.”
