As spring arrives, many homeowners turn their attention to their gardens, home maintenance, and the long list of seasonal tasks that come with keeping a property in top condition. While the warmer weather is welcome, the thought of tackling outdoor upkeep can start to feel overwhelming. 

For many homeowners at Adlington Retirement Living communities, the appeal of leaving all that behind was one of the reasons they decided to move. 

David, an Adlington homeowner said: "Since moving here, everything has been even better than I expected. I thought I would miss my old house, but I don't. Here, you're not constantly looking at jobs that need doing around the house and garden.

"The worry has instantly gone away. You see people taking care of the gutters, and you know all these things are sorted. You don't have to lift a finger. 

"You also have camaraderie, friendship groups, and all the things you can enjoy. We spend less time doing chores and more time enjoying life." 

Freedom from home maintenance

Since moving to an Adlington community, Trevor has enjoyed his newfound freedom from home maintenance. 

"There's so much stress and anxiety that comes with maintaining a house. When you're paying for odd jobs week by week, you don't realise how much it adds up over the years.

"Some people think service charges for retirement communities are expensive, but when you consider what you get, I think it's worth it.

"If I was talking to someone considering a move, I'd say it relieves an enormous amount of stress and adds so much positive social interaction."

Ann and Harry, Adlington homeowners, found that home maintenance responsibilities were a key factor when deciding to move. Since their move, Ann and Harry have felt a real sense of relief and freedom. 

"We've got rid of all the concerns of painting the house and weeding the garden. Now, it's all done for us, you don't have worries here. It's like being on holiday all the time."
