Show more "Situated in the beautiful historic town of Sandwich, Kent, Fordwich Place is a quiet and attractive development surrounded by large gardens. Fordwich Place is ideally located for access to local shops and a regular bus service. The town centre is a 5 minute walk away, and is home to a wealth of facilities including doctors surgery, post office, chemist, a library and bank. There are a number of independent shops and a weekly market, as well as a train station and bus station providing links to Kent, London and the rest of the country. A local Dial a Ride scheme is available.

With a secure main entry system and emergency pullcords in each room, Fordwich Place is designed with your wellbeing in mind. Monthly meetings are held by the court manager for residents to raise any issues or comments, with a newsletter sent out to all residents after each meeting. The court offers a large car park for use by residents and visitors, a communal laundry and well tended gardens with mature trees - residents are welcome to get involved with looking after the garden areas, or just enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Our Court Manager Service is an important and integral part of Housing 21’s approach to supporting our residents. It is designed to offer support and security to the court and those residents on court who need it. The service is about promoting and encouraging individuals to maintain their independence in their own home.

Our Managers are also responsible for the day to day running of the court including looking after the Health & Safety, property management and resident engagement." Show less
