Meet Jeanette - hear her resident story
"I'd lived alongside the racecourse in Kensington Banks with stairs and a house needing more and more maintenance; here at Rivervue there’s none of that. I’m on my own with a little dog, and between the pool, weekly table tennis and the pretty wetlands walks, I don’t know where the hours go! It’s friendly without being intrusive. You can do as much or as little as you like. I’m totally enjoying life here; it’s the best stage of my life."
Jeanette, resident at Rivervue (moved from Kensington Banks)
