Seven high-end retirement residences scattered across England, from West Sussex to Warwickshire
In the picturesque village of Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex, Danny House stands as an owner-managed senior-living community nestled within a Grade I-listed Elizabethan country house. This haven, however, is just one of many under the umbrella of KYN, a compassionate, privately-owned group that provides both residential and nursing care.
KYN homes are not traditional retirement villages but rather homely environments designed to cater to the needs of elderly inhabitants. They operate on a weekly payment model, offering a sense of flexibility and affordability that appeals to many.
One such example is Danny House, which offers a variety of amenities such as dance and exercise classes, a book club, shopping and cultural trips, and a Monday evening soirée, in addition to one- or two-bedroom apartments. The fees at Danny House include electricity, heating, council tax, cleaning, entertainment, maintenance, and three meals a day throughout the year.
Similarly, Riverstone in Warwick Lane offers a luxurious selection of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, complete with amenities like a restaurant, bar, library, cinema, exercise studio, 24-hour concierge, and security. The scheme at Riverstone makes the most of its setting overlooking peaceful communal gardens.
Orchard Yard, located in Wingham, Kent, offers nine houses and six apartments for residents aged 55 or more. Set in the walled farmyard of a 15th-century, Grade II-listed Wingham Court, Orchard Yard features a wildlife pond, an orchard, individual vegetable gardens, and a large table for alfresco dining.
The properties at Binswood, situated in Royal Leamington Spa, boast 114 properties centred around Binswood Hall. Binswood offers a wide range of amenities including a restaurant, bistro bar, swimming pool, health and wellbeing centre, fitness suite, library, and events.
KYN homes are committed to blending clinical excellence with an inviting, personalized atmosphere. They provide in-house nurses and vocational carers for 24/7 medical and personal care, dementia specialists for dedicated, outstanding dementia care, and physiotherapists to assist with mobility and rehabilitation.
The elegant interiors of KYN homes are designed by Nina Campbell to create beautiful, comfortable living spaces. Their commitment to fostering community and wellbeing is evident in the fantastic facilities and social areas found in each home.
In London, KYN homes offer residential and nursing care tailored to elderly inhabitants' needs, with a focus on compassionate, homely environments inspired by personal experience. Current operational homes include KYN Bickley and KYN Hurlingham, with others under development in Highgate and Kensington.
Elsewhere, Siddington Park, on the outskirts of Cirencester, is a scheme by later-life specialists Rangeford Villages. The properties at Auriens, located in Chelsea, have been designed with the wellbeing of the over-65s in mind. William Lodge in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, is a contemporary development by Churchill's Retirement Living with 26 one- or two-bedroom apartments.
Each of these homes reflects KYN's dedication to providing quality care and comfort for the elderly, creating an environment where residents can live comfortably and with dignity.
