Ready to rethink retirement?
Retirement Villages
Welcome to Inspired Villages
Our ethos is simple. We put the health and happiness of our residents at the heart of everything we do, with the promise of a life less ordinary for today's generation of retirees.
Everything we do is motivated by the admiration and respect we have for our residents, their families, and the lifestyle they desire and deserve.
This motivation influences every part of an Inspired village - from the service levels of our team through to the planning and design of the village itself.

Month in focus
As winter firmly took hold this November, with snow falling across most of the UK, it was still business as usual at our Inspired Villages.
It was a full house at Ledian Gardens when members, residents and friends from Care UK gathered for Inspired Friendships Kent, featuring a scam awareness talk from NatWest and a mini craft fair. Later in the month, residents played host to year 10 students from Strood Academy, who took part in activities including Pizza, cookies and cocktail making as part of their Think Forward Programme.
Villagers from Austin Heath and Great Alne Park enjoyed a day out in Stoke Minster, exploring the intricate WWII woollen creations at the Longest Yarn Exhibition. Huge congratulations go to Millfield Green, which picked-up the Highly Commended award, as the first Net Zero retirement community at this year’s Housebuilder media Awards.
Congratulations also go to Millbrook Village, who raised an amazing £1,420 for charity at their Christmas Craft Fair, whilst Kelly and Tania from Great Alne Park swapped the wintery UK for more sunnier climbs when they took part in the Authentic Athens Marathon, raising much-needed funds for Parkinson’s UK in Greece!

National loneliness week: Our video campaign
Nobody deserves to be alone in later life
You may have noticed our brand-new film at the top of this very page!
Did you know that over 2 million people aged 75 and up live alone and can go a whole month without talking to anyone?
We believe it shouldn't be this way. Human connection is key to our wellbeing, which is why it's at the heart of everything we do at our retirement villages. Our communities are warm and welcoming; helping people feel a sense of belonging as soon as they step through our doors and beyond. You can read our blog here.
