Castle View Retirement Living Windsor

James’ story is a powerful example of how moving after loss can bring back a sense of home, connection and purpose in later life.

After losing his wife, James knew that staying alone in their large Cotswolds house was no longer right for him – emotionally or practically.

In his Homeowner Story, he shares how a move to Castle View helped him find warmth, support and a social life again, all with beautiful views and a community around him.

Is the long-time family home still the right place to enjoy later life – or is it starting to hold you back?

If the stairs feel steeper, the garden feels larger and the “to‑do” list never quite ends, it might be time to rethink whether your family home still works for you.

In this new piece, we look at signs it could be time to ‘rightsize’, how to balance head and heart, and what a more manageable, secure home could offer in later life.

What a perfect way to mark Christmas Eve at Castle View!

Our second Bring & Share Buffet saw homeowners bringing a fantastic array of savoury and sweet dishes, topped off with our own poached salmon.

The afternoon wrapped up beautifully with a carol sing-along led by Sky Larks choir leader Kate.....think Rudolph, Jingle Bells, and a heartfelt "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."

Swipe through for the highlights of this warm community gathering....

Merry Christmas from all at Castle View, Windsor!!

What a wonderful evening at Castle View last night as Staines Salvation Army Church and Community Centre once again brought the spirit of Christmas to our Sky Lounge!

Their band and singers filled the room with beautiful carol performances, joined by all forty of our homeowners for a heartfelt singalong of Christmas favourites.

We also heard about the Salvation Army’s brilliant Be A Star campaign and other community fundraising efforts - inspiring work that reminds us what this season is all about.

There was plenty of time to catch up with our friends from the Salvation Army and fellow homeowners over hot drinks and mince pies, and together we raised an amazing £275 in donations - thank you to everyone for your generosity.

If you’d like to enjoy more festive music, the Salvation Army’s Carols by Candlelight service takes place this Sunday 21st December at 6pm at the Staines Salvation Army & Community Centre, Woodthorpe Rd, Ashford (TW15 3JY). 🎄✨

A Christmas Tree collection..... with a Castle View twist! 🌟 🎄

Our Craft Club have been busy bringing a touch of handmade magic to every corner of Castle View with beautiful trees now on display in the Bistro, Reception, Bar, Library and Sky Lounge.

Each has its own story and a lot of heart behind it. Our ‘Away in a Manger’ tree was created for the Old Windsor Parish Church Christmas Tree Festival, while the lovely angels on our ‘Angels from the Realms of Glory’ tree were all made during the Christmas workshop at Holy Trinity.

It’s been a real team effort and the results have brought a wonderful festive feel throughout!
