My Sheltered Housing~Update

[NoseyNose]

Well folks.

I went to view my proposed sheltered housing flat today(Friday),and it's far better than I expected.

My flat,on 1st floor has a juliet balcony,with views in the near distance of the sea.

I have to go next Tuesday (13th) to finalise all the paperwork,with the intention of moving in around March 14th to 16th(depends on the movers).

Nice big living room,Kitchen off,small but ideal for a single person;with washer/drier,fridge freezer,and eye level oven,and halogen hob.

Living room is connected for TV(Communal Aerial) and Internet/Landline phone.

Decent size bedroon,with enormous built in wardrobe.

Bathroom is a wet room with shower etc,but if you MUST have a bath there is a communal bathroom down the hall(I shall stick with a shower).

Restaurant does light lunches,12 to 2 daily.

GP's Surgery onsite,just a minute or so walk from my flat.

On the first floor is a communal lounge,where several days a week communal clubs meet(I am going to learn how to play darts!)LOL

Hairdresser comes every Friday,to a purpose built salon.Mens hair £12.00,which for this area is very cheap.

Tesco will deliver their online food deliveries right to the flat door too.

More updates soon.

To be honest, I was going to go to see my GP and tell him how difficult I find life as I'm getting older to see what he could suggest. He must know of places that are suitable for me.

Keep us informed on how things are going for you. Will you have someone to help you move?

[anneasquith]

Barsel, I hope you find something suitable, it's best to maybe find something sooner rather than later .

[Barsel]

Thanks Anne. I expect they will have a rough idea of how long you would have to wait for a property, so I'll give it until 2026 when I'll be 80, and I'll probably feel I can't be bothered by then. 😁

[Barsel]

Will definitely make enquiries next week.

[windywillow]

Wow, that sounds great, so happy for you Gordon. 👍

Please don't be frightened to contact your Social Services direct,they are usually helpful, and friendly.

You CAN go via your GP, but I think that it is easier to do it direct.Social Services can(and will) contact your GP if they think that it is necessary.

Regarding moving.I have a friend who has an very large horsebox,and he says that he(and his friends)will pack and move my stuff in it.You can imagine just how much a horsebox can hold
Luckily the move is only about 6 miles,from old to new.

[Barsel]

That's great Gordon. I wouldn't want to move too far away from where I am now as I wouldn't like to have to find new shops and services.

I have been very lucky to find Sheltered Housing,that is only 6 miles from present home.It's a nice feeling knowing an area.

However,here you go:~

Hope you enjoy your new home Gordon.

I'm happy not to be there while you learn how to play darts 😇

[Barsel]

Thanks for the link Gordon. Will take a look and then I'm off to bed. Goodnight.

Maybe a lot of the residents would like pierced ears?LOL

[NoseyNose]

Goodnight Barsel,

Seee you soon.

Gordon has left the building!

[1ozzy]

Or noses,,,

[sandyRoe]

Congratulations!

That sounds ideal.

[Hopkirk]

Is there a bar?

[1ozzy]

If there is Hoppy I hope it's not called Limbo,,

[NoseyNose]

 I should be in bed,but I will answer your amusing question!

No,there is not a bar in the Sheltered Housing,BUT the nearest pub is only half a mile away,not a long way to walk,even quicker with a mobility scooter.

Can you be arrested for being drunk with one of those?LOL

[1ozzy]

Probably, be careful old mate.

[barry1010]
