A full range of positive ageing services
Enliven offers a full range of positive ageing services. At Huntleigh Apartments we offer independent retirement living, while neighbouring Huntleigh Home offers both short and long term rest home and hospital care, health recovery and a day programme.
This range of care means that if your needs change, so too can the level of support we provide. It also makes Huntleigh Home and Apartments a great option for couples who need different levels of support.
If there comes a time village residents need extra support, they will have priority entry to our Huntleigh Home when there is availability.

Huntleigh Apartment residents say:
I’ve really love that everyone gets along so well. I’ve been at Huntleigh three and a half years and I can honestly say I’ve never met another resident I didn’t like.
Lorna
While I enjoy my independence, I also love the ‘family feel’ of Huntleigh. I have really great neighbours and there are a few of us who enjoy Friday night drinks together in the lounge or watching movies as a group from time to time.
Graeme
I had my checklist made out and Huntleigh Apartments ticked all the boxes. It met every need – it’s walking distance from shops, church, cafes, the doctor, the bank and much more, and access to public transport is right outside the gate.
Joy
It’s very independent here. It allows you to be private, but not isolated. If you want company it’s close-by, but if you want privacy you have it.
Teresa
I looked at a few places with my family and mechanically everything was right, but what made Huntleigh stand out was that when I came here the people all smiled at me – and that’s what put this place at the top of the list.
