Am I ‘young’ enough to move to St James Oaks?

St James Oaks is a development of private properties for the over 55’s with additional services provided for your comfort and peace of mind. You will need to be able to live a normal independent life because St James Oaks does not offer care or employ medically trained staff.

Can I bring my pet with me?

St James Oaks has a no pet policy, but can approve small pets. Once a pet has passed away, it will not be able to be replaced.

What about insurance?

The full cost of rebuilding your home is covered by Landbridge Limited’s comprehensive insurance policy, the cost of which is part of your service charge. The sum insured is of course, reviewed annually. You do have to insure your own furniture and other contents as normal.
