Our retirement schemes make life a little easier

RHP's award winning retirement schemes offer you comfort, convenience and security for a happy retirement. Choose RHP's Retirement Housing for a relaxed lifestyle, peace of mind and comfortable living. Designed with independent people in mind, our low maintenance flats give you the privacy of your own home, with the added advantage of specialist services on your doorstep.

For the over 60s

You can enjoy the company of neighbours in the communal lounge and garden if you wish, or take advantage of a great social scene with regular organised activities to suit all interests.

Peace of mind

We understand how important safety and security is and our schemes offer you extra reassurance to make life stress-free. All flats have an emergency 24 hour call system. You can also go away for a few days without worrying, knowing that your home is in a secure building.

We employ fully trained scheme managers, so that residents have a friendly face who can answer their questions, make sure their scheme is expertly managed, deal with emergencies and promote social activities. We will visit you personally on a regular basis. They can advise you on any care or support you need although our scheme managers cannot provide nursing or personal care services to you themselves.

Extra Care Housing

RHP has one retirement housing scheme that offers "extra care" housing. Sandown Court offers accommodation for customers who receive additional care services from the London Borough of Richmond's Social Services team. Referrals are made through Social Services for this scheme so please contact your care manager or Social Worker. RHP’s new Extra Care Scheme in Hampton is currently under construction and due for completion in 2010. Look out for more details coming soon.

If you want to know if you are eligible for RHP's retirement housing, please read our eligibility section.

We are always happy to show people around, so come and have a look for yourself and see what you think. We will aim to answer all your questions. You are able to join our waiting list if there are no vacancies at the scheme of your choice.

If you are unsure whether retirement housing is the best option for you, why not try an online questionnaire which will help you with your decision.
