Testimonials

“Since I have moved on to the Estate I have felt safe and more contended that I have done in over 20 years. I lived in a high rise block of flats and lived in fear every day due to the gangs, noise levels and the disturbances that went on day and night. 

“I suffer from chronic anxiety and depression and this environment did not help my health condition. 

”My sister suggested that I move to Hugh Fraser Retirement Estate. I now feel safe, happy and contented. I was a prisoner in my last home, relying on my sister to take me out to the shops and to all healthcare appointments. 

“I now feel safe and can go to the local shops and for short walks on my own, this has given my sister more time for herself and her grandson and a bit less worry for me.”

“I am now 100 years old and I feel so thankful that in my early nineties I was given an apartment in extra care at the Hugh Fraser Retirement Estate. I have no responsibilities for heating or other amenities. I have a great sense of freedom because I can go for a walk in the grounds. I feel secure and, above all, I have caring staff who will help me with any problems.”
