Choosing the right housing option
Our wide variety of homes suit all stages of later life. Our guide helps you to understand the differences and choose the appropriate option for you or your loved one.
Independent living
Available to you if you live in Bristol, through Bristol’s Home Choice, for those who choose to rent a retirement flat and are happy to live independently (without Housing Officer support), but with property maintenance support from Brunelcare, inclusive in the rent.
Retirement living
Woodland Court, our retirement village situated in Downend in Bristol, offers a range of premium apartments available to those looking to buy their retirement home. Living in the village means you get to enjoy its gardens and grounds without having to worry about their maintenance. As needs change, Brunelcare’s care and support services are also available for residents.
