At the heart of the Auriens’ magic is its community. Residents who have made their homes here have chosen to live life to its fullest, which often results in enhanced longevity. Forging friendships by sharing time in the lush gardens, having cocktails in the speakeasy before a screening in the 12-seater cinema, or gathering around the baby grand in the library are just a few of the endless possibilities of living the Auriens life.

Each village is home to around 100 people, living either in independent living apartments or small households where 24-hour care is provided. Where needed, care packages can be provided to apartment customers through our home care service, Belong at Home, which also serves the wider community and we also offer specialist day care through our Experience Days service.

All customers come together in the village centre which comprises a bistro, hair salon, specialist gym, entertainment venue with licensed bar and in some locations, a children’s nursery or heritage gallery.

Together with a management team who are experts in their respective disciplines, the group continues to innovate in everything related to retirement living and are striving to be one of the most successful retirement communities in existence.

We remain an independent enterprise and are therefore dedicated to providing bespoke components to everyday retirement living, an aspect often overlooked by many others. Our award-winning team is focused upon providing a high-quality environment with discreet and unobtrusive services to support you, should the need arise.

Birchgrove

The current housing options for people over 65 exclude a large section of those who don't want to manage another house purchase. As a result, some people stay in their large family homes for longer than appropriate to their needs.

At Birchgrove we believe that renting a home instead of owning is the most liberating form of tenure for assisted living.

Unlike most assisted living developments in the UK, Birchgrove works on a rental model, offering all the benefits of independent living with support, but with none of the complications of homeownership.

Our first site in Sidcup, Kent features 74 spacious and high quality 1, 2, and 3-bed apartments. Each one has been designed without compromise on proportions or finish – and we have also added modern design innovations that will enable our residents to remain fully independent for longer. The site opened to our first residents May 2019. Our second site in Woking, Surrey opened to residents in the autumn of 2020 and our third in Ewell opened spring 2022. We recently added our fourth site in Mill Hill in July 2024.

Our commitment to our residents is that we will protect their independence, make their lives easier, provide them with companionship – and be there when they need us, day or night.
