Frequently asked questions

  1. I am 72 and moved from Surrey to the North 5 years ago. I now want to move back to Surrey to be near my family but cannot find anything in my price range. What are my options?
  2. I am 86 and the only real friend I have is my dog but it is getting difficult for me to give her sufficient exercise. Have you any suggestions?
  3. I recently fell over in my garden and had to wait until a neighbour heard my shouts. My family now want me to move, is there an alternative?
  4. Is there anything special I need to consider before buying a mobile home?
  5. My house is very draughty because it needs a new roof and windows. But I do not have the money to pay for the repairs. What can I do?
  6. My husband and I are finding cooking and shopping increasingly difficult. Is there any retirement housing that includes a restaurant?
  7. What is the difference between sheltered housing, warden assisted housing, retirement housing, extra care, close care, very sheltered housing, assisted living, retirement villages and retirement communities?
