What is Independent Living?
Our independent living developments support you to live the way you choose, enjoying as much freedom and control over your daily life as possible. Every apartment is self-contained with a front door, so you can come or go as you please, socialise on your terms and enjoy complete privacy in your home.
We’re proud to provide retirement apartments in independent living communities across the UK, including West Yorkshire, Greater London and the West Midlands. Explore our most popular developments.
Is independent living right for me?
If you require assisted living, a retirement home that provides care services will be better suited to your needs. However, if you:
- Don’t require assisted living
- Want full autonomy over your daily life
- Enjoy recreational activities
- Need a more low-maintenance lifestyle
- Thrive in a social community setting
- Value privacy in your home
Then an apartment in one of our retirement villages could be the next step for you. Find out why independent living works for our residents.
The benefits of independent living in senior retirement communities
Freedom to enjoy your time, your way
Living in a retirement apartment gives you the independence you've enjoyed throughout your life. Shop where you like, cook the meals you love and invite loved ones to visit whenever suits you.
Full ownership of your living space
When you become a homeowner in one of our retirement communities, you have the freedom to decorate and fill your apartment with new memories. We also welcome small pets in all developments.
A welcoming Community of Other Retirees
Every Churchill Living neighbourhood has an Owners Lounge where you can meet up with your neighbours, sign up for activities or settle in a quiet corner with a good book in hand.
Events and Activities
We hold social events and activities in our Owners’ Lounge all year round, from cheese and wine evenings to keep-fit classes. There's something for everyone to enjoy, so you can socialise in a way that suits you.
Low-maintenance lifestyle
When you move to a Churchill Retirement development, you enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle that’s easy to budget for. Things like external building maintenance, grounds maintenance and heating are all covered under your service fee.
Peace of Mind
Lock up and leave, knowing that your home is safe during weekend trips and extended holidays. Our Lodge Managers are on site every day to make sure things run smoothly, whether you’re at home or away.

FAQs
What’s included in independent living services?
A Lodge Manager oversees every Churchill Living development, and your service fee covers home maintenance. Each apartment is also fitted with a 24-hour careline support system in case of an emergency.
How is supported living different from independent living?
Supported living homes are for individuals who require assistance with daily living. They often provide a care service team that gives tailored support to residents.
