Life at The Chateau by Highlands
A typical week here
People ask what there is to do. The honest answer is that most of it is not organised at all: it is coffee that runs long, and a walk with someone who was going anyway. But there is a rhythm underneath it, and this is roughly what a week looks like.
- Most weekday mornings Water aerobics in the resort-style pool, and coffee and conversation in the clubhouse.
- Twice a week Chair aerobics in the fitness centre, for anyone who wants to stay moving without a gym.
- Twice a week Walking club, for residents who would rather do their exercise outdoors and in company.
- Most weeks Something social: a wine and cheese evening, a poolside happy hour, an ice cream social.
- Every month Book club, craft club, game night, movie night and bingo, each on its own day.
- Now and then A themed breakfast, a family day at the pool, or a group outing to a show nearby.
Nothing here is compulsory and nothing needs booking. Residents drift in and out of it as they feel like it, which is rather the point of the place.
