Meet Hazel and Dinah
These two fabulous ladies call Elmbridge Village home, where lively community living meets an abundance of activities, a busy social scene, and a love for gardening that blooms alongside this friendship.
Dinah's decision to move to Elmbridge was influenced by her parents' experience. She was determined to have the opportunity to create a fulfilling retirement for herself, surrounded by like-minded individuals. For Dinah, Elmbridge isn't just a place to live; it's also somewhere she can enjoy life to the fullest, tending to her cherished allotment and making friendships along the way. Her loved ones also feel safe in the knowledge that she has support available if she needs it.
"I did a great thing for them (my children). They know I'm safe and protected now; it's a great comfort to me."

Hazel also particularly enjoys the gardening space provided by the community, the gardening parties, teamwork, and vibrant social life.
