What is Dartington’s Abundant Life Project?
With, currently, one in five of our local population over the age of 65, and with very little good housing and care provision for older people, we want to contribute to improving the lives of older people. We want to see more choice, more opportunity for staying active, more security for older people that they will get care, including health care, in their home when they need it. The aspiration for our Abundant Life project is to create a 120-apartment community for local people over the age of 55 who can come together to live independent, purposeful, active lives, take part in a wide range of activities, mix with people of all ages, and get the help they need when they need it.
