Resident John shares his memories of VE day and his own recollections of war time era. https://t.co/1n6t9wha0J

🎬 DAY FOURTEEN: It was an absolute pleasure to visit Wixams Retirement Village and meet the lovely Ray to talk about the wonderful community feel at the village.
From my Bedfordshire Day tour so far I have seen there is so much going on across Mid Beds for older people as well as younger people and it's fantastic to be out meeting so many different people.
Watch the video to learn more about why Ray loves the retirement village so much!
@Blake_MidBeds Thank you for visiting our village. We're very proud of the facilities, lifestyle and homes we offer our residents and the wider Bedford community.
We’re highlighting the important work of our trustees who help guide and support the ExtraCare. Trustees Janet Houlis & Resident Mark Jeffery share insights on their journeys, roles & commitment to creating communities where everyone belongs

Choosing where to live in later life is more than just choosing bricks and mortar.
Research shows that retirement communities support healthier, more active and more secure lifestyles while reducing loneliness and isolation.
