Senior living communities in Essex

Burnham Waters has been designed to incorporate the latest technology.

Increasingly, technology is becoming a vital part of life for older people. Using it to keep in touch with their loved ones, explore new hobbies, work remotely, stay safe and monitor their property.

In fact, there are several ways that technology can help make life easier when you move into senior living communities such as the one at Burnham Waters. Our homes have many standard technology features, with options available as and when you need them.

Technology features

Our aim is to deliver an intelligent community that can support its residents and enhance their lives.

Fibre optic connectivity All residences will be connected via our state of the art fibre optic network with up to 1000Mb supply (UK average stands at 22Mb currently) which enables remote working, video streaming, video chat with friends and family living far away and support health monitoring and fall detection systems. This can help our residents and their families feel connected and less lonely. Internet services over the fibreoptic cable are chargeable (approximate rate £50 per month) which will be maintained at rates competitive to the market.
Fall detection systems An excellent way for vulnerable residents to feel safe in their homes. Nobi, available as an upgrade option, can monitor movement and let care providers know if someone has fallen so our care providers or family members can quickly assist.
Intruder alarm system An intruder alarm system is installed in every home across the community. For added reassurance, residents can choose an optional monitored service, supported by the on-site team, with notifications and escalation to the appropriate contacts or authorities where required. This is ideal for residents who travel or leave their home unattended for extended periods.

Smart lock and video intercom These work seamlessly to allow you to see who is at your front door before answering it and also makes it easier for residents to communicate with those outside without having to go to the door. For people with limited mobility, the unlock feature allows visitors into a bungalow without the need for residents to open the door themselves.
CCTV cameras CCTV cameras are installed to the driveway and patio area of each home, allowing residents to monitor their own property for reassurance and personal use. Additional CCTV is planned along perimeter walking routes and within communal areas to support site oversight and the management of shared spaces.

Nobi & Nabita Smart Lamps

Fall detection and health monitoring within the home.

With Burnham Waters' advanced connectivity, we can install the latest health care and fall detection technology in our homes in a seamless, non-intrusive way. We are excited to have partnered with Nobi to provide our residents with the option of installing the Nobi & Nabita smart lamps within our bungalows at Burnham Waters.

Nobi believes everyone has the right to spend their golden years in a safe and happy environment, and we couldn't agree more. Nobi helps older adults 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 within the home even with aging health challenges.

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.

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.

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.
