Our standards
The master bedrooms have fitted mirror-front wardrobes as well as TV and telephone points, with even the smallest details considered.
The apartments come with tiled shower rooms as standard, while some of them have separate en-suites and cloakrooms as well – all designed for ease of use and with the needs of our customers in mind.
Bungalows feature a separate bathroom as well as an en suite to the master bedroom. The kitchen/dining room opens out into a spacious living room.
All apartments are stringently inspected by our Customer Services department to ensure they are handed over to the standard of finish and quality expected by our customers.

How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:
Now is the time to take stock and think about how much time and money you have spent over the past year on house maintenance. If the answer is far too much, then a lifestyle with fewer maintenance worries and a service charge that’s easy to budget for could be the answer to saving money and enjoying more of your time on the things you love.
There are many misconceptions about service charges and many of our Owners are pleasantly surprised that the service charges for their apartment frequently work out less than what they were paying in comparable costs on their previous property.
Our Service Charge typically covers the cost of providing a Lodge Manager, security systems and call monitoring, external maintenance of the building and grounds, building insurance, heating, lighting and provision of all of the furnishings for the Owners’ Lounge and communal areas – all essential ingredients of the independent lifestyle our developments provide.
We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Owners to consider, consulting with them on this every 6 months.
“Living in a Churchill Apartment is absolutely marvellous. The whole building is so nice and warm all the time that we’ve hardly had to use the heating inside our apartment. When we do turn it up a notch or two it’s nice to know we don’t have to worry about the cost or the environmental impact, as it’s all so energy efficient and covered within our annual service charge.”
John and Doreen Pitt, Lewis Carroll Lodge, Cheltenham
We appreciate everyone’s household costs will differ which is why we encourage Customers to complete a ‘Savings Calculator’ with one of our Sales Executives. This calculator is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of the value in our easy to budget Service Charge.

Testimonials
“We’re so glad we moved into Retirement Living when we did. Even though we both still work we’re hoping we’ve got many years to enjoy our life here together, and when we do retire in two to three years, we’ve got plenty to keep us busy. We live very close to a gym that I love to go to, and we’re also in a great location for the Shirley retail parks and Solihull town centre for shopping.”

Retirement homes in West Midlands
Although one of the most built-up of all England’s counties, with the cities of Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Coventry all within its boundaries, West Midlands is not all concrete and industry!
In fact The Black Country is actually nothing of the sort, with fine English countryside and peaceful corners to be found everywhere you go. In the cities, there are quiet, leafy suburbs – just the place for an enjoyable retirement with as much activity and entertainment as you please, all easily accessed from our retirement homes in the West Midlands.
