Manager's notes:Sommerville, which is part of the larger retirement village of Westbury Fields, offers residents a range of housing and support that can be accessed through Bristol City Council. These apartments offer 51 one and two bedroom residences for rent in addition to the 98 lease purchase properties across the rest of the site.
Residents who live in Sommerville, who may otherwise need residential care or a range of other services to help them remain independent, can receive help from the Care and Support team which provides assistance around the home and home care where appropriate.
Many of the recreational facilities and activities for the whole village are based in the Sommerville building. These include a computer suite, restaurant, gym, hairdresser, and arts/crafts room. Residents who live in any part of Westbury Fields are able to access these services and enjoy an active retirement with the security of knowing that care and support is immediately on hand if it is ever required.
