Located in a residential area of Wroughton, on the outskirts of Swindon, Harry Garrett Court provides apartments and communal facilities for over 55s.
Designed to offer comfort, independence and peace of mind, Harry Garrett Court has everything you need to enjoy a happy, fulfilling retirement.
In the morning, a local shop can deliver your newspaper, and during the day we’ll give you a call to check you’re okay. After breakfast in your apartment, you might choose to meet friends in our large communal lounge, or take part in one of our regular activities. At lunchtime, you have everything you need to prepare lunch for yourself or for friends or family in your apartment.
If you fancy a change of scenery, Wroughton High Street is only a short walk away, or you could take a stroll around Lydiard Park or Coate Water County Park. Alternatively, you could head to Marlborough or Swindon town centre for a spot of shopping or lunch.
In the afternoon, you could join us for one of our regular social events, take part in an arts and crafts workshop, enjoy some live entertainment, or visit our onsite hairdressing salon for some 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.
I love living here, it has given me my life back. It's the best decision I have ever made.
