Independance Plus
5 / 5 ★You have created a special village
Enjoyable place to live
5 / 5 ★ENJOYABLE PLACE TO LIVE LOVELY FRIENDLY RESIDENTS HOPING TO GET PERMANENT REC CENTRE SOON.
Great family-friendly atmosphere
4 / 5 ★Longridge has a great family-friendly atmosphere, but lacks transparency from management. I feel it's thanks to the residence that there are great activities and outings.
The social atmosphere is excellent
4 / 5 ★EDT Overall, I would definitely recommend have a look around on open day and ask residents how they enjoy Longridge community and living with their neighbours. It gives you an idea how much the people here at Longridge enjoy life with friendships for life.
Still Under Construction
4 / 5 ★Longridge is still under construction. I would recommend my friends to join a retirement village that is finished rather than one that is still being built. Also Longridge hasn't a manager so we just muddle along on our own.
Choices are available to participate or be private
4 / 5 ★Any repairs of villas appliances or ground work or roads should be attended to straight away not after a long wait
Three Stars
3 / 5 ★Homes are well built and very comfortable. Outlook and positioning of homes very good. We do not have a proper recreation centre and have seriously outgrown the temporary one. We were promised this more than four years ago. We have no village manager or after hours support and no sign for the future.
Lovely spacious private units
3 / 5 ★None
No Extras
2 / 5 ★It's ok for myself as I do my social activity out of the village. No extras: cafe, rec centre, care centre, nurse (no staff over Christmas), swimming pool. [I feel like there have been] many promises and no action. (eds.)
One Star
1 / 5 ★1. The positives are a nice villa and gardens. 2. General comments a/ when buying we were promised that a recreation centre would start within a month or so. Three years later and many promises, still nothing. 3. Cheap electricity- now we have a 50% increase. 4.[We feel that] there have been many lies and are very very disappointed. (eds.)
