A RETIREMENT development in Sale has been awarded an award by the national housing charity for older people, Elderly Accommodation Counsel (EAC).

Brindley Lodge achieved the bronze award in the ‘retirement housing 40-49 units’ category, for both the quality of the property and the services provided.

More than 4000 residents from 360 specialist housing schemes helped choose the award winners, which culminated in an awards presentation at the Hilton Hotel in Manchester in February.

The residents scored their retirement scheme on a variety of statements relating to both the quality of the property, including location, build quality, space and design and the care and support they receive, including staff attitudes, social activities and integration into the wider community.

Churchill property Brindley Lodge, on Hope Road, is managed by Millstream Management Services.

Spencer McCarthy, chairman and group managing director at Churchill Retirement Living, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to have been recognised in this way by the Elderly Accommodation Counsel."
