Mrs Rodway had been living in a two bedroom house. Following a severe stroke she struggled to cope with her daily tasks and became increasingly isolated from the local community because she struggled to go out.

She said: “I love my new flat; it is like living in a five star hotel. “There is always someone to talk to and the food in the restaurant is lovely.

“I was so pleased when I heard there was a hairdresser here and I immediately rushed to make my first appointment.”

Regency Court boasts 60 modern apartments and is designed exclusively for local older people. Care is provided by the on site care team. . All residents have access to the 24/7 ‘Hanover on Call’ tele-care service, which provides them with a reassuring emergency response service.

Hanover Director Claire Anderson: said: “When it comes to where and how they want to live older people have increasingly high expectations. 

“Hanover understands this and offers older people maximum choice, enabling them to live independently.
