Show more "Fortune Place in South Edinburgh is the future of affordable housing for people over the age of 60. The award winning flats are designed to cater for different and changing needs to enable people live at home contently for as long as possible. The flats allow care to come to you, should you ever need it and we have incorporated dementia friendly design features to future proof the flats.But what makes Fortune Place so special and different is it's a community. We have created space for people to share, encouraging people to converse, socialise and feel part of a community. The added bonus of the beautiful garden spaces also encourages outdoor activities. The tenants can use or learn gardening skills with the help of our therapeutic gardener, whilst making the garden their own. We benefited from Big Lottery funding which gives us a member of staff for three years to develop this new community and to introduce and manage a diverse programme of activities. The Garden Room gives people at Fortune Place a tailor made space to join their neighbours at the activities which so far include Tai Chi classes, art therapy, digital skills and Zumba." Show less
