What is assisted living? Here in the UK assisted living does more or less what it says on the tin: an individual moves into a self-contained residence such as a flat or bungalow, and is cared for by staff who are available 24 hours a day.
We are often told, in the context of a country or even a city, that we have an ageing population. Setting aside the fact that this is technically true of every population (nobody’s ever got younger with the passage of time, after all!), a more accurate description would be that we have an ageing species.
We take our residents’ food requirements very seriously, and spend a great deal of time gaining better knowledge of individuals’ likes and dislikes as well as their dietary requirements.
Moving house can be difficult at any age, just as big changes in life generally can be. It needn’t always be this way, however. Moving into a care home can be emotional and testing event in getting older, but with our few simple tips, it can be alleviated considerably. Here’s how to make moving into a care home easier for all.

Having worked as an architect on the design team, Anna is now delighted to be working directly for Signature, monitoring the design progress, liaising with both the design team and the contractor on any design matters.
