Tday the boy's are back out on the road and this time they are exploring assisted living in the community was we all approach our senior years.

Today the boy's visit Nowton Park Retirement Village

Nowton Court is a beautiful manor house located in the grounds of Nowton Park in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England.

Nowton Court is truly unique.  The staffs passion is to ensure that the residents remain as independent as absolutely possible – enjoying their day-to-day life in a safe and secure environment without losing their freedom of choice.

Emergency and immediate support is provided for 24 hours per day to ensure all residents’ comfort and safety.  Additional support can be bought in as and when required for any personal needs, and managed by the residents and their families as they choose.  

Put simply, Nowton takes away the worry of doing daily chores so that residents can live, relax and enjoy – secure in the knowledge that help is at hand if needed.

Nowton Grange is a beautiful building which historically was used as the ‘Stable Block’ to the main Manor House when it was a private dewelling, It has been beautifully restored and converted into 18 privately owned apartments.

These exceptional apartments are supported with on-site services and are set within the delightful grounds of Nowton Court Retirement Village; which is conveniently located adjacent to Nowton Park and the extensive range of amenities in nearby Bury St Edmunds.

As part of Nowton Court Retirement Village, The Grange enjoys breath taking surroundings right on its doorstep and also has the opportunity for discounted use of the exclusive Heritage Beauty and Wellbeing Centre.

The boy's speak to Sam Dacey the homes manager who kindly tells us all about the set-up of the home and of course the daily operations and what plans she has for the home going forward. Sue Hughes (Activities manager) explains her role and how she ensures all residents are comfortable and accessing facilities locally. She also arranges activities in the home which are all optional and likes to arrange outings when she can.

Our first Resident joins us Brian Atkinson age 96, nearly 97 he explains. Brian is one lovely man, a very happy resident and a real life and sole of Nowton Court, loved by the residents and the staff alike. Brian gives us a very brief idea of his life story and of course his life now in the home.

We are joined finally by Pamela Cox (86) and what a delight Pamala is too. Pamala resides in the adjacent Nowton Grange which consists of a range of privately owned apartments for the over 55's. Pamala gives us a brief insight into her life and how the grange integrates with Nowton Court and what services she can access.

Outcast Of The Islands, An by Joseph Conrad (1857 - 1924) LibriVox An Outcast of the Islands is the second novel by Joseph Conrad, published in 1896, inspired by Conrad's experience as mate of a steamer, the Vigar. The novel details the undoing of Peter Willems, a disreputable, immoral man who, on the run from a scandal in Makassar, finds refuge in a hidden native village, only to betray his benefactors over lust for the tribal chief's daughter.

This novel was adapted for the screen in 1952 by director Carol Reed, featuring Trevor Howard as Willems, Ralph Richardson as Lingard, Robert Morley, and Wendy Hiller. (Summary by Wikipedia)
