New retirement villages | Burnham Waters in Essex incorporates the latest technology

Today’s new retirement villages are incorporating the latest technology to support residents in making the most of their new homes. Technology is now an essential part of life for the 55 and overs. From keeping in touch with loved ones and exploring new hobbies, to working remotely and exploring and monitoring your new home, technology certainly makes life easier.  

Burnham Waters in Essex is a new retirement village, specifically designed for 55 and overs. It has been designed with the everchanging technological world in mind and residents can access a host of simple technology features within their homes, as and when they require.

 

Technological features  

 

At new retirement villages such as Burnham Waters in Essex, our aim is to deliver an intelligent community that can benefit and support its residents and enhance their lives. All of our retirement bungalows include:  

Fast fibre internet connectivity: This enables remote working, video streaming and video chat with friends and family, who may be living far away. It also supports our health monitoring and fall detection systems, helping our residents and their families feel connected at all times.

Security alarms: Our alarm system can be monitored from our on-site security office for added peace of mind and is ideal for those that wish to lock up and leave their home for extended trips away.

Smart lock and video intercom: These systems work seamlessly to allow you to see who's at your front door, before you answer it. It also makes it easier for residents to communicate with those outside, without having to get up and go to the door. For people with limited mobility, the unlock feature enables you to allow visitors into your bungalow, without the need for you to physically get up and open the door yourself.

CCTV cameras: CCTV cameras located on the driveway and patio area of each property at Burnham Waters provide additional peace of mind. Safety is a top priority within our new retirement village and we are incorporating additional CCTV on the perimeter walking paths and communal spaces, further enhancing our onsite security. Our cameras include AI that detect if a person has fallen over on a measured walking trail and ensures assistance is provided.

 

Fall detection: Nobi Smart Lamps

 

Residents at Burnham Waters can also choose to add the Nobi smart lamp to their properties. At our new retirement village, we have partnered with Nobi to deliver the Nobi & Nabita smart lamps within our new bungalows. With our advanced connectivity, we can install the latest heath care and fall detection technology in a seamless non-intrusive way. This is an excellent way for vulnerable residents to feel safe in their homes. Nobi can monitor movement and let care providers know if a resident has fallen, alerting a nominated care giver to provide immediate assistance.

Nobi helps older adults to continue enjoying their lives, in the comfort of a familiar environment, according to their own rules. This aligns with our own belief that we should provide longevity and independence within the home, even with aging health challenges. To watch Nobi in action, click here.

Feedback

Walking into this bungalow felt like opening a new chapter. Everything was just right - modern, accessible and well thought out. It's been a revelation.

Diane

We really like Burnham and the surrounding area. We’ve never lived near the water before, so we enjoy spending time walking along the quay.

Carol & David

I don’t see it as a retirement village—more like a new community with different people and personalities coming together. I don’t look around and think everyone here is elderly or slowing down.

Graeme

I love it here. It’s the people who make the place, and each person brings something unique to the community.

Lisa

We're excited to see the development grow - not just in size, but in spirit. For us, this is home. And it's the right one.

Brian

Our new home has enhanced our lifestyle enormously. When we first walked into our new home...we felt a great sense of relief - we felt that were embarking on a new life together. We are looking forward to a community atmosphere building here and to be able to head out to the onsite shops, as well as the gym and other facilities. I don’t believe that there is another development anywhere that is capable of meeting the same standards as Burnham Waters.

Mr and Mrs Moon

The team have been so patient and understanding with my elderly parents. Although we haven’t been through a purchase yet we are hoping that will come. Nathan and his team have been accommodating, kind and very knowledgable throughout our dealings with them so far. Highly recommend.

Christina Sheilds

Having been met by Nathan we followed him onto the estate and was introduced to Jamie. His truly inspirational concept for a community development have left us wanting to be part of it. Loved the bungalow and once inside we able to see for ourselves the high spec and generous size rooms. Every aspect appears to have been thought about carefully and we are looking forward to seeing the 3 bedroom show home.

Mrs Moss

The home exceeded expectations. My wife and I appreciate how generous you were with your time with us. It’s a great, well thought out and designed development for the over 55’s.

Mr & Mrs Francis

Completely blown away with the spaciousness of the layout of the estate and the beautifully presented bungalow. I can’t thank you enough for the all the advice and information the team at the bungalow gave coupled with the help and genuine understanding and help with our particular issues.
