Living at Glover’s Trust
Living in one of our self-contained cottages you will benefit from a scheme manager on site each weekday and an emergency alarm service at all times. There is also no need to worry about maintenance and repairs as we take care of those.
It’s a friendly place too. Sometimes you may want to be on your own and at other times you may want to be sociable. There is a residents’ lounge which is used for weekly coffee mornings for residents, with the chance to also chat to a visiting trustee. And to promote a sense of community, our scheme manager can help arrange other social activities and group trips out.
