Tonic&Bankhouse is a retirement community comprising of 84 affordable apartments over 14 floors, located on Albert Embankment in the iconic area of Vauxhall, Lambeth. Tonic owns 19 of these 1 and 2 bed apartments with One Housing managing all the rented apartments, and Care Outlook providing the personal care and support services on-site.
Tonic has created a unique offering of housing with care, that celebrates LGBT+ identities with the community at the very heart of their homes. We co-create events and activities with residents based on their interests, including collaborations with other LGBT+ organisations and support providers. We provide accommodation and safe social spaces where older LGBT+ people are supported, gain life affirming social connections and access culturally appropriate services.
Bankhouse was designed by world-renowned architects Foster + Partners, and consists of high-quality one and two-bedroom homes, most with balconies with stunning views. An on-site restaurant, beautiful community lounge overlooking the River Thames, a floating garden and a roof terrace with incredible views of central London.
Retirement communities combine high-quality housing options for older people with tailored support services. They allow residents to maintain their privacy and independence, with the reassurance of 24-hour on-site staff, communal facilities, and optional personal care and support as needed. Retirement communities may also be referred to as retirement villages, extra care housing, housing-with-care, assisted or independent living." Show less
