"I feel safe, and I have a great social life!"

After a life of adventure, from traveling the world as a nanny to building a career as a community carer, Rita was ready for a new chapter. Following her years of hard work, she was looking for a fresh start, and the vibrant design of the Hortsley community in Seaford instantly caught her eye. The decision to move to the seaside town was an easy one.

Starting over in a new town can sometimes be intimidating, but Rita found that Hortsley offered the perfect opportunity to build a fulfilling social life. "Having a social life is very important to me," she explains. The Hortsley community is brimming with life and activity.

"There is always someone to talk to, it’s like having a built-in network."

For those who move in alone, Rita finds comfort in knowing they're never truly on their own. The shared lounge is a perfect place for a cup of tea and a chat, where neighbors are always milling around.

Community without pressure

The real beauty of Hortsley, as Rita sees it, is the freedom of choice. “The beauty of this community is that you have the choice to join in." Whether it's a planned activity like the regular chair yoga class (which Rita never misses!) or an impromptu coffee with a neighbor, the community is there for you. But if you prefer quiet time in your own home, that's perfectly fine too.

"You can join in, not join in, or do half and half," she says, adding that there's "no pressure or judgement" to participate.

Feeling safe and settled

Beyond the social aspect, Hortsley provides Rita with a deep sense of security. "I feel safe here," she says, adding that even if she were living on her own, she'd feel "really secure."

Now, settled into her new home, Rita is sure she made the right decision. "I feel settled here, I don’t want to move, that’s a good sign!"
