Adlington Retirement Living opens 65 new apartments in Sheffield

A retirement community of 65 apartments has opened on Troutbeck Road in Sheffield.

The Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Councillor Gail Smith, officially opened Adlington Retirement Living’s new retirement community at a sparkling reception in its beautifully appointed restaurant and lounge.

Councillor Smith, who joined new homeowners and the on-site team to mark the occasion, commented: “I was delighted to be asked to officially open Jacobs Gate. It’s a wonderful new development which has a real sense of community. Homeowners can enjoy the privacy of their own home in their spacious apartments, and they also have access to a restaurant, lounge and beautifully landscaped gardens. I enjoyed meeting with so many happy homeowners.”

Jon Shepherd, Director at Adlington Retirement Living, added “It was a pleasure to welcome The Mayor of Sheffield, Councillor Gail Smith, to our brand-new Adlington Retirement Living community. Adlington’s vision is to empower our older generation to live a long, happy and healthy life. We do that by creating safe and secure environments with active communities, extensive facilities, and spacious, quality homes, providing an opportunity to enjoy retirement with a new perspective.”

Jacobs Gate has been specially designed for those over the age of 65, offering one, two and three bedroom apartments with communal facilities including a hairdressing salon, therapy suite and activities studio.

The 24-hour on-site support team provide homeowners with peace of mind and, if needed, the option of tailored personal care. In addition to this, there is a sophisticated emergency call system as well as a security video entry to manage access.

Four of Adlington’s sites have won Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards for the Best Retirement Development at the WhatHouse? Awards, the UK housebuilding’s most prestigious event. The Folds in Romiley and the Bridges in Macclesfield won the Silver Award in 2020 and 2019, Adlington House in Otley won the Gold Award in 2017 and Adlington House in Portishead won the Bronze Award in 2015.
