Community Life

Life is vibrant in our retirement communities

Living at Platinum Skies promises plenty of social opportunities

For our homeowners, retirement doesn’t have to be about taking it easy. When you move to one of our over 55s communities, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy, with opportunities to make new friends.

Platinum Skies turns old-fashioned ideas about retirement living upside down. You know that old joke about being so busy now you’re retired, you wonder how you ever had time for work? That’s something our residents experience all the time! We’re delighted that 97% of new our homeowners said they have made a new friend since moving to Platinum Skies*.

Kind, compassionate, caring communities

Our communities reflect the personality, warmth and spirit of our homeowners. Community is forged by our homeowners coming together, with the support of our Community Managers, to provide friendship, fun and laughter, along with support and compassion when times are hard.

Everyone is free to take part in as much or as little as they’d like, but it’s wonderful to know that there’s opportunities to try new crafts or exercise, join a book club, or simply meet up with a neighbour for a coffee whenever you want to, without having to go far to do so – everything’s on your doorstep, and a new social life is there for the taking.

Real Stories, Real Impact

Community life at Platinum Skies goes beyond shared spaces - it's about shared purpose. From flower planting in local towns to supporting important causes, our homeowners are making a difference together.

See what our communities have been up to

Fantastic spaces for socialising, events and activities

Each Platinum Skies community has a range of communal facilities, exclusively for our homeowners to use. These spaces provide the perfect venue for the classes, film afternoons, supper clubs and parties held regularly on site.

Exclusive bistro & bar

Indulge in delicious food and drinks within our larger communities. It’s a great spot to meet up for a light lunch or dinner with a friend or neighbour, and you can invite friends and family to join you at the bistro too.

Homeowners' lounge

Enjoy coffees with friends or just settle into the sofa with a crossword puzzle. Or meet up with friends for a round of Scrabble, put the world to rights over a cuppa or learn a new card game.

Activity and treatment rooms

Art classes, Pilates, a blissful massage… there’s no shortage of things to enjoy. The activity room provides a large versatile space with many uses – all within the community itself. The treatment room can be used by visiting therapists or beauticians, so you can book in for an appointment on your doorstep.

Guest Suites

At some of our properties you can invite friends or family to stay on-site. The space is available for a small charge per night (to cover cleaning and laundry) and can be booked via your Community Manager. It’s the perfect place to have guests, without having guests!

Chapters Life A–Z

A community shaped by you, for you

What does a fulfilling retirement look like to you? Whether it’s getting stuck into a creative project, enjoying a good book with a cup of tea, joining a lively quiz night with neighbours, or taking part in a dance class - at Platinum Skies, it’s entirely up to you.

The Chapters Life A–Z is a heart-warming snapshot of the vibrant life at our Salisbury community, lovingly created by the homeowners themselves, with support from the Social Group and on-site Community Manager. With over 50 different clubs, classes, groups and gatherings, it reflects the full spectrum of personalities and passions that make our communities so special.

From tai chi and theatre trips to knitting, karaoke, and quiet moments over coffee, Platinum Skies communities are places where you can be as active or as relaxed, as social or as independent, as you choose. Everything is there, whenever you want it.

Within my first week here I was able to name thirty people, and that camaraderie and friendship has been really important for me.

Services we provide

You can always rely on our Community Managers to help you day-to-day in lots of different ways.

Organising events to bring the community together

They’re experts in planning a range of events and activities. The options are endless, but there’s supper clubs, games and quiz nights, art and exercise classes and much more.

Supporting our new homeowners settling into their home

They’ve already helped lots of other homeowners through the move-in process, so are on hand with tips, information and details to help you feel at home as quickly as possible. This might be showing you around to find your bearings, explaining where to park, or just letting you know when the next coffee morning is – always a great chance to meet your new neighbours.

Provide help, advice and support with your home, community and local area

It’s always helpful to know what day the market’s on, or which bus to take to the shops, and our Community Managers are a great source of local knowledge that they’re happy to share.

Facilitating community groups and clubs to organise activities and events

As well as organising events and activities themselves, some of our communities have their own social groups, who arrange a whole host of entertainment and trips out. Our Community Managers are on hand to help and support them with these, and it means everyone benefits from an even greater choice of pastimes.

Connecting our homeowners to the services and facilities in the local community

Moving somewhere new is exciting, but you might need to find a new hairdressers or doctor’s surgery, hire a cleaner, or find out the best taxi company to use – our Community team can help with all of this to make sure you’re feeling settled in your new town.
