Belong villages are designed to be part of their local communities, providing welcoming places where residents, relatives and local people can meet, spend time together and enjoy new experiences.
The village centres are open to the public and host a varied programme of events, activities and outings. From arts, music and exercise to talks, celebrations and afternoon teas, there are opportunities to take part, meet people or simply enjoy some companionship.
At the heart of each village is The Bistro, offering freshly prepared meals, light bites, cakes and speciality coffees in a relaxed setting.
It gives residents a familiar place to meet friends and family and enjoy the experience of going out. Other amenities include hair and beauty salons, nail bars and entertainment venues, with many villages also offering therapy treatments and spaces for community groups, performances and celebrations.
Each village also has a specialist exercise service, with adapted equipment and programmes tailored to individual abilities and goals.
Exercise specialists support people to improve strength, mobility and balance, maintain everyday skills and reduce the risk of falls. To discover what is available locally, visitors can call into their nearest village, pick up the latest What’s On guide and choose the activities or facilities that interest them.
