The village hub includes a licensed bistro, hair salon, therapy room and gym.
Belong Atherton offers 26 self-contained apartments for independent living in Knightsbrook Court. These are available to either purchase or rent, with a monthly community fee payable in both cases to cover many of the building maintenance, utilities and service costs. Please see the Key Facts document for details of the financial arrangements for renting or purchasing a Belong apartment.
For those who choose to purchase, we operate a "Buy Back" scheme which guarantees that we'll repurchase your apartment for the same price that you originally paid, subject to reasonable deductions for any repairs, arrears and legal costs. This is designed to provide total peace of mind for apartment owners, by avoiding price fluctuation on the open market.
Renters pay rent and a monthly community fee to contribute towards the cost of the services provided. Purchasers also pay the monthly community fee.
Apartment residents have access to a vibrant village centre on their doorstep, with facilities including a licensed bistro, hair salon, entertainment venue and specialist exercise studio.
We also offer a number of high quality care services to the wider community, including home care, a specialist day care service and an Admiral Nurse support service for people with dementia and their carers." Show less
