Retirees in Kendal celebrate 'the good times' with a drink in hand
There was cause for celebration as homeowners at a McCarthy Stone Retirement Living community in Kendal came together in good spirits to mark the development’s first birthday.
Homeowners and staff at Alavana Place gathered in the communal lounge, where they were able to toast the new community and enjoy some nibbles, cake and a glass of fizz while reminiscing over new friendships made, and precious memories from the past year.
Louise Flynn, Divisional Marketing Manager for McCarthy Stone, said: “We had a fantastic time at Alavana Place celebrating 12 months since we opened our doors. It’s been great to see so many homeowners embrace independent retirement living in such a beautiful market town location, with a great support system around them allowing homeowners to feel secure, and which gives them peace of mind for the future.”
