This March, partners, staff and residents came together at Montgomery Court in Rochester to celebrate ten years of the scheme.

Montgomery Court is one of our extra care schemes which means residents live independently whilst benefiting from having a care team on site 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Residents also have access to communal facilities such as a restaurant, activities room and hairdresser. 

Residents and guests were able to celebrate over an afternoon tea whilst reminiscing over a slide show of memories. 

 

It was great to hear how much residents enjoy living at Montgomery Court, Maisie who has been at the scheme since it opened in 2014, said; 'It is a lovely place, I came into it when it was brand new, and it was like a five-star hotel. My flat is nice and comfortable, and it is lovely and warm!’ 

The event was a success and a reminder of the great work our schemes do to provide comfortable and safe living for residents.
