Retirement redefined

Millbrook Village, the retirement community operated by Inspired Villages, is redefining what it means to retire. With a focus on wellbeing, first-class facilities and a high quality of life, Millbrook has shifted the focus from ‘slowing down’ to ‘a new lease of life’.

Situated on the edge of Exeter, Millbrook Village combines the beauty of a secluded countryside haven with the community spirit of a local village. Upon visiting, you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for a holiday retreat; thanks to a hospitality-led offering, residents can enjoy everything from a relaxation pool to a fine dining restaurant.

Leah Jackson, a dedicated wellness navigator, is responsible for supporting the requirements and interests of residents. She comments: “At Millbrook Village, we do everything possible to facilitate the highest quality of life. With a host of facilities and an inclusive programme of social activities and events, we enable residents to live the best years of their lives. Whether you’ve got a penchant for cycling, Pilates or choir singing, there is something here for every interest.”
