Live Safe, Secure and Stress-Free at Applewood.

Everyone deserves to feel safe and secure in their home and community. This becomes even more important as you approach retirement and seek the freedom to lock up and leave with total peace of mind, knowing your home and wellbeing are protected.

At Applewood, we take safety seriously, offering security and support systems that set a new standard for independent retirement living. Here’s how we provide the assurance and protection you deserve:
 

Gated Community with 24/7 Security

From the moment you arrive at Applewood, you’ll experience a sense of safety and comfort. Our secure, automated front gates ensure that only residents and their invited guests have access to the village. This controlled entry point adds an extra layer of protection, creating a secure environment for all.

Additionally, our 24-hour CCTV surveillance system monitors key areas, providing an extra level of security. Whether you’re enjoying your home or away on holiday, you can relax knowing your community is well-protected.
 

On-Site Staff for Round-the-Clock Support

Sometimes, just knowing there’s someone close by, or a phone call away, can make all the difference. At Applewood, our on-site staff are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether it’s a security concern or a health emergency, our team is fully qualified to respond and escalate as needed.

If you’re someone who loves to travel, this provides extra reassurance. While you're away, our Village staff keep an eye on your home, ensuring everything remains safe and sound. This means you can enjoy your time away without worrying about your property or personal security.
 

Advanced Alarm and Emergency Call Systems 

Security goes beyond locked doors and monitored gates. At Applewood, we provide alarm and emergency response systems designed for both personal and community-wide safety, including:

• Home security alarms.
• Personal duress systems that allow residents to call for assistance with the press of a button.
• Motion sensor inactivity alarms, which alert our on-site staff if no movement has been detected within a resident’s home for a certain period.
• Help pendants that can be carried at all times to call for immediate assistance.

Our duress service extends beyond medical emergencies, also addressing issues such as water leaks, electrical faults, and power outages. This holistic approach to security ensures residents feel supported in every aspect of their daily lives.
 

A Community That Cares

While our security systems provide excellent protection, what truly makes Applewood special is our close-knit community. Residents genuinely look out for one another, offering an additional layer of informal security. If a neighbour hasn’t been seen for a while, someone will check in to ensure they’re okay.

At Applewood, safety is about more than just technology and security measures – it’s about fostering a warm, caring environment where residents can thrive. We provide not only a secure place to live but also a supportive community that prioritises wellbeing and peace of mind. Here you can truly relax and enjoy your retirement, knowing you are in a well-designed, secure environment.
