"I Wish I'd Moved in Sooner!"
I love living at Longridge. I wish I had moved in sooner! The residents are very friendly and we all get along. We are well looked after by village staff and management. If we have any problems they are onto it straight away. My villa is warm and cosy.

"It Only Gets Better."
Being among the first to move into the village, things weren't finished, but the communication was great between management and us. All we had to do was ask and it was done. We were made to feel very welcome. Things haven’t changed, it only gets better. After looking at other retirement villages, we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. We have made so many friends in the village.
