Dale Johnson from Adlington Retirement Living, said: “We always work hard at every development to nurture a community spirit, whilst promoting independence and individual respect.

“Many of our homeowners move to retirement communities whilst they’re fit and healthy, to future-proof their retirement. We offer a personal approach to care to ensure that each individual receives just the right amount to maintain their independence, allowing them to enjoy their retirement to the full.”

Lesley Shakeshaft, who heads up Dacre, Son & Hartley’s Burley in Wharfedale office, said: “Located in the heart of Menston, The Spindles is in a very popular location with lovely countryside, sports clubs, shops, pubs, restaurants, as well as all Guiseley’s amenities, nearby.

“We’re very excited to be launching these apartments and would urge anyone interested to contact us now to arrange to view the show apartments and experience for themselves the quality of what’s on offer.”

The apartments are all finished to an exceptional standard, with high quality 80 per cent wool carpets, feature fireplaces, fully-fitted kitchens with integrated appliances, specially designed level-access wet rooms, and most have en-suite bathrooms to the master bedrooms.

Every apartment also has a 24-hour emergency call system linked directly to a dedicated on-site team, an audio and visual entry system to the main entrance, wider doorways and spacious rooms for easy wheelchair access, as well as ample easy reach sockets, light switches and telephone points.
