“It ’s everything I wanted ”

Bring your memories with you, but expect to make many more

Platinum Skies turns old-fashioned ideas about retirement living upside down. You know that old joke about being so busy now you’re retired you wonder how you ever had time for work? That’s one our residents play out constantly.

We set out to make Platinum Skies the first choice for anyone over 55 who still has a zest for life. So whether you’re after some peace and quiet or a piece of the action, there’s always plenty going on. You can look forward to a varied programme of pay-as-you-go activities every week of the year.

From keeping mind and body active to getting out and about or taking up a new hobby. Whatever takes your fancy, it’s there for the asking. Tango, tenpin bowling, tai chi or tea at The Ritz, if you’re up for it, just ask!

A helping hand, a watchful eye, it’s what independence is made of

As long as humans have lived, we’ve looked out for one another. It’s a real weight off your mind to know you always have someone on hand, someone you can call on not only in an emergency but for everyday matters too.

With Platinum Skies, that someone is your lifestyle manager. Of all the new friends you’ll make, your lifestyle manager is the one we’ve hand-picked to make sure you always feel safe, secure, supported and special.

Your lifestyle manager is your community’s cheerleader, an understanding friend, a mine of information about the local area, a reassuring presence, a master organiser. In short, someone who’s there for you in every way.

A caring, supportive community

You’ll also find your Platinum Skies neighbourhood soon evolves into a lively and supportive social network. This brings with it a sense of belonging and the opportunity to engage with people who, like you, have set their sights on getting the most out of their later years.

And because we take a long-term view, so can you. Right now, you may not need to call on our round-the-clock healthcare support or our assisted living services. But if things change, it’s good to know help is on hand 24/7.

• Friendly lifestyle manager on hand to help

• Supportive, active community

• We’re 100% dedicated to improving our residents quality of life

• Access to 24/7 care, as and when you need it

“Real community spirit”“ We love our new home at Chapters, we have a community of like-minded people on our doorstep. The access we have to care services are amazing and all of our needs are being tailored too by our lifestyle manager. We couldn’t recommend it enough.”

Making the right move frees you up to get more out of life

Moving house is a big decision. But when you weigh up what a move to a Platinum Skies home has going for it, the decision almost makes itself.

You get more home for your money, with all the benefi ts of a property designed to meet and adapt to your needs today and for years to come. You get to live in an attractive modern setting, with easy access to healthcare and lifestyle support. And on top of all this, you have money to spare that you can invest and use to enjoy life to the full.

Working together for your best interests

It’s all thanks to our partnership with Homes England and our government-approved shared ownership scheme. Homes England is a public body helping social landlords like us bring aff ordable housing to people whose needs aren’t met by traditional housebuilders.

Instead of buying your new home outright, you pay just 50% of its full market value. You then pay a monthly fee to cover our share of the property plus service charges. In this way, you have the best of both worlds. As property prices increase, so does your equity. And, with Platinum Skies as your long-term partner, you can count on us to keep everything in tip-top condition.

As for your surplus cash, you’re free to use that however you choose. Which means you can put your worries aside and look forward to a comfortable and more fulfi lling future.

“A beautiful place”

S A L I S B U RY, W I LT S H I R E

The place you always wanted to retire to

Few places offer the best of both worlds on a par with Salisbury. Steeped in history and surrounded by Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Wiltshire’s only city can be yours to explore and enjoy with Platinum Skies.

In pride of place stands Salisbury Cathedral, a masterpiece of medieval architecture. Here, you can simply sit and watch the world go by with England’s tallest spire as your backdrop. Or pull on your walking boots or cycle helmet and take in the nature, wildlife and scenery that awaits you in every direction.

There’s a thriving social scene too. Live music, theatre, dance, art exhibitions and comedy nights keep you entertained every month of the year. Guided tours, golf, murder mystery evenings, whisky tasting, quiz nights, amateur dramatics… the list goes on. City it may be, but this is a place with a strong sense of community.

You’re sure to feel very much at home in Salisbury.

“The gardens will come alive”“ I can’t wait for summer to arrive at Chapters. As well as being able to sit out on my balcony overlooking Salisbury Cathedral, the communal gardens will really come alive. There’s a wonderful fountain in the centre, and lots of seating options nearby, so I picture it becoming a very sociable area in the warmer months.”

Working together to improve lives and communities

Platinum Skies is a registered social landlord. We’re part of AHH (Affordable Housing & Healthcare Group), an organisation committed to creating affordable living that promotes wellbeing and prosperity for all.

Every development we create aims to serve the local community as well as the residents who move in. We don’t just build anywhere. We partner with NHS Trusts and local authorities to redevelop surplus land in prime locations.

Our shared ownership scheme was developed in consultation with Homes England, the government agency whose role is to help find innovative ways to meet the UK’s critical housing demand. All our rental charges and fees are set by Homes England.

With our vision and through partnerships such as these, Platinum Skies has changed the retirement living sector for ever. We look forward to welcoming you to a happy, healthy and wealthy future.

What a difference when your home is designed around you

The real beauty of choosing to live in one of our apartments or houses is that everything has been carefully thought about with your needs and priorities in mind.

Taps turn on and off effortlessly. Your kitchen is a dream to work in and keep clean, with modern integrated appliances. Your whole home is the perfect temperature. Whenever you get a visitor, you can see them via video link.

This is the kind of everyday life you can look forward to in your new Platinum Skies home. Comfort, wellbeing, independence, safety, security, accessibility. And, most reassuring of all, we’ve designed your home so it can be readily adapted as your needs change.

All our homes are built to a high specification and feature contemporary styling and high-quality appliances and fittings. There’s so much to love, from the large windows that let in plenty of natural light to energy-efficient kitchen appliances, easy-open fitted wardrobes and underfloor heating.

YO U R Q U E S T I O N S A N S W E R E D

Can I bring my pets?

Yes, pets are welcome. We know having a pet around can add to our happiness and wellbeing. So feel free to have your pet move into Platinum Skies with you.

What is retirement living?

In many ways, living in a retirement house or apartment is much the same as living anywhere. Your home is yours to furnish and decorate as you please. You can invite friends and family over and it’s up to you to keep the place spick and span.

On top of this, retirement living brings added security, support and peace of mind. Your home will be part of a purpose-designed development, chosen for easy access to essential facilities and care services. Thought is given to making sure everything is accessible and help is never far away if you need it.

Can my family and friends come and stay?

Yes, of course! Family and friends are important and this is your home.

We have a dedicated guest suite where your visitors can stay. There’s a small fee for this and you’ll need to book in advance with your lifestyle manager.

Will I get a garden?

We know how much pleasure people take from nature and the changing seasons, but we also know how good it is to leave the upkeep to someone else.

We design our developments with shared open spaces. These often feature courtyards with landscaped gardens, water features and plenty of seating.

Who can live at Platinum Skies?

Anyone over 55. We cater for retirees of every age and people who choose to keep working into their seventies and beyond.

What ongoing costs do I have to pay?

You’ll pay a monthly rent (assuming you move in with our shared ownership scheme) and service charge. This covers the share of the property that you don’t own yourself, plus provision of day-to-day services.

All our rental charges and fees are set by the government’s housing agency, Homes England.

Lifestyle services – everything from dining at the bistro to health and social activities – are offered pay-as-you-go.

“ We love that our dog was allowed to move in with us, that is one of the main reasons why we moved to a Platinum Skies home. Not all developments accept pets and some don’t actually allow pets in the grounds. The team have been so helpful and nothing has been too much trouble.”
