Get more out of life at Denham Garden Village

The start of the New Year has seen the usual deluge of healthy living campaigns hitting Britain’s TV screens, with Channel 4’s The Big Food Fight Season leading the way.

For the over 55’s eating healthily and taking regular exercise is often overlooked; according to figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS), only 30% of adults aged 50 to 64 get the recommended 30 minutes of exercise five times a week.

However, a recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine claims regular exercise could help increase life expectancy; the study showed that moderate physical activity led to an increase in 1.3 years more in total life expectancy for men aged 50 years or older and 1.5 years for women of the same age. With high levels of activity this increased to 3.7 years for men and 3.3 years for women.

With such wide medical opinion indicating regular exercise as a means to enjoying a long and healthy life, a home at Denham Garden Village could be ideal. An exclusive development for over 55s located in Denham, Buckinghamshire the scheme incorporates a comprehensive health spa.

All residents at Denham Garden Village have access to The Health Spa, which comprises an extensive range of state of the art facilities combined with a team of highly qualified and experienced fitness professionals. Residents can take full advantage of a fully supervised gymnasium with cardio theatre, exercise studio, swimming pool, spa pool, sauna, steam room, therapy room and solarium.

Jackie Eltis, General Manager at Denham Garden Village, comments: “Many people want to keep fit and thoroughly enjoy the social side of going to the gym. However, health clubs and private gyms can be very expensive and getting to and from them can be time consuming. Residents at Denham Garden Village have access to state of the art health facilities right on their doorstep – a perfect situation for those who want to trim up in the cardio theatre or take a relaxing dip in the pool.”

The third phase of homes at Denham Garden Village is due to launch on the 10th April 2008. This new collection of homes will comprise 38 dormer bungalows, 17 single storey bungalows and 31 apartments. The fixtures and fittings of the homes are modern, yet designed specifically to make people’s lives easier. All the properties have been designed to Lifetime Home Standards which means they can be easily adapted to meet the changing needs of homeowners, such as reduction of mobility.

Residents benefit from on demand care services and assistive technology, such as a 24hr on site care team, which provides tailored care packages from a range of domestic help and support including shopping and gardening through to palliative care.

Along with the health facilities, the scheme also includes a Village Centre, a Winter Garden, a Café Bar, Village Shop, Internet facilities, a Post Office, a hairdresser and a doctor’s surgery.

Jackie continues: “Phase three is proving extremely popular and we have already received a lot of interest. All those potential purchasers who register interest in the next phase will have an opportunity to attend an exclusive preview event, where they will be able to reserve a home ahead of the main launch.”

Prices of homes in phase three start from £370,000. For further information visit Denhamgardenvillage.co.uk.
