Mill View retirement community for the over 55s enables residents to live independently in their own modern apartments with care on site. It's next open day is on Saturday, March 18, from 10am to 4pm. 

Think lifestyle, independence and assurance; the community is centrally located with an abundance of nearby amenities and transport links on the doorstep.  

Hauxton Village and the M11 motorway are both under a mile away. Shelford Train Station is only 2.5 miles with direct trains to London Liverpool Street. 

Addenbrooke's Hospital is just over three miles away and Cambridge and Grafton Shopping Centre with more than 60 stores, cafes and restaurants, only four miles. 

For enthusiastic golfers, Gog Magog Golf Club is only five miles away and Duxford Imperial War Museum, just over six.  

But if residents don’t want to venture outside the community they can socialise with others when they choose, or simply enjoy their own company, using the facilities such as communal areas indoors and out. 

They can also cook their own meals in their apartment kitchen if they wish, or eat in the restaurant. 

And they and their families can rest assured that if there is an emergency or minor incident, carers are there to help. Care and support is tailored to their individual needs. 

The comfortable environment promotes social interactions and reduces the risk of isolation. If someone was lonely previously, they have the opportunity to socialise here. As well as residents going to the restaurant to have lunch together, their families can visit often, too. 

Residents may find that it’s liberating to sell their family house, move forward and realise that the worries they had are lifted from them. Support and guidance is at hand to ensure they are happy living at Mill View. If anyone feels daunted by moving from a family home into a new place, there’s an extra care team manager on site to support them from Monday to Friday. 

Janet Bennett, Retirement Living Sales Advisor, said: “Here at Mill View we offer you your own home but with care on hand. So rather than going into a retirement home, you have your own facilities here, your own apartment, your own cooking facilities if you want them. But if you don’t, you have the support of the restaurant and car staff.” 

Helen Etherington, Retirement Living Area Manager, said: “I think what makes Mil View stand out is the fact that’s it’s a breakaway from what the traditional retirement community is thought of, it’s a very beautifully designed building which caters for people with mobility issues. It really has a lovely open, airy feel and really sells independent living. It’s also close to the local hospitals and shops.” 

Lifestyle 

Every day is another opportunity to live life to the full, independent living unlocks exciting opportunities, and the facilities mean you can have the lifestyle you deserve. Life here can be as relaxed or as active as you choose, with a superb range of facilities on-site. 

In a place where you’ll always feel at home, Mill View offers residents' exceptional amenities, including an on-site shop, hair salon, air-conditioned roof garden restaurant with terrace, and landscaped communal gardens, all designed to make your life as easy as possible. 

Intimate and inviting, the rooftop restaurant and terrace is set in truly luxurious surroundings, enjoying panoramic views across open countryside, providing a perfect place to meet with neighbours, friends and family. 

Independence 

Behind the privacy of your own front door, the contemporary specification and meticulously designed interiors provide a calming backdrop that still gives you the opportunity to make your own mark. All apartments have been carefully planned and considered to create modern and attractive living spaces. 

With their generous proportions, well-designed layouts and high-quality specification, the apartments deliver the best in independent living. As well as being near beautiful countryside, residents can relax and unwind in private landscaped gardens, designed to be pleasing to the eye whether at close quarters from a stroll around the grounds, or from the comfort of your private balcony or terrace. 

Reassurance 

Residents benefit from a 24-hour emergency response service, so both you and your loved ones can have peace of mind that help will be there when needed. Mill View provides the security and privacy of your own home and the reassurance that you can continue to live independently.
