Situated in the heart of the English Riviera, with easy access to Paignton town centre, local amenities and Paignton Zoo, Whitley Court provides apartments and communal facilities for over 55s.
Designed to offer comfort, independence and peace of mind, Whitley Court has everything you need to enjoy a happy, fulfilling retirement.
In the morning, a local shop can deliver your daily milk or newspaper, and during the day we’ll call you to check that you’re okay. After breakfast in your apartment or the restaurant, you might choose to meet friends or take part in one of our regular activities. At lunchtime, the restaurant serves delicious hot meals that you can enjoy with family and friends, or you may wish to prepare lunch yourself in your apartment.
If you fancy a change of scenery, Paignton Zoo is only a short walk away, or you may want to catch a bus into Paignton town centre, with its beach, shops and restaurants. Brixham, Torquay and Totnes are also nearby.
In the afternoon, you could join us for one of our regular social events, take part in a game of pool or bingo, or perhaps visit our onsite hairdressing salon for a bit of pampering. By evening you may want to take it easy after all the activity! If not, you can always join friends to watch TV, or for a chat, a game of cards or a mutual hobby.
It is very enjoyable living here. It's made a difference to my life. Staff are friendly, nice and caring and there is always somebody to speak to if I need.
