Welcome to St James Oaks

At St James Oaks, we believe the time to really start living is when you retire – or at least decide to start taking things a bit easier. And there’s no better place to do that than in our luxury accommodation designed with you in mind.

Centrally located in the historic riverside town of Gravesend in Kent, we promise that while living independently you can also benefit from communal areas, immaculate gardens, the company of good neighbours and a lively programme of social events.

So when thinking about the next chapter of your life, our philosophy is that it should be a happy and fulfilling one tailored to your own particular needs, with peace of mind guaranteed.

Our Social Life

A social life at St James Oaks is guaranteed...

Are you retired, semi-retired, or merely over 55?

We are living in a changing world. Until recently, one side of the coin was young, and the other was old.

But now with more leisure activities plus we are all living longer, and some able to retire a little earlier.

We believe that life now has three very distinct periods to enjoy and embrace.

And it is our business to cater and invite you to our creation of Shire Housing. Retirement housing that delivers….

0-25 years

The Early Years

Childhood, going to school saying hello to such a big world making friends.

25-55 years

The Creative Years

Building your career, settling down with a partner, making a home of your own, creating children, and guiding them to adulthood.

55 years +

The Reward Years

Easing back on chasing your job, the mortgage, have a little more leisure time, take a couple more holidays, getting up when you want to not when you have to!
