Friendly staff

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I really like the friendly staff - from management through the dining room and housekeeping.

I saw a studio apartment and a one-bedroom also. The views were spectacular, the space in each was adequate for what they were called (I've lived in both types) and bathrooms and closet space very good. I have a cat, and especially in one bedroom there was plenty of space. I asked [name removed]to put me on the list for each of them, and he was going to call each of the waiting people this week to see if they still want to be listed.

The staff and residents are so welcoming here so it felt like home from the first day we arrived. No chance of getting bored as there are activities to suit all tastes. Delicious food is served in a beautiful dining room with stunning views of glorious countryside . We are indeed very happy here!

Review for Deer Park Retirement Community

It's a lot to get used to if you previously were totally independent because there is a lot to learn and lots of rules about what you can and can't do. There is a van to transport to places WITHIN the county or it's Uber. This van does not have a wheelchair lift and if you cannot manage the step to the level of the seats, basically you cannot take advantage of the van.
