At Guild Living we are passionate about later living, but not as you currently know it. Backed by Legal & General, Guild Living are delivering innovative ways to live independently in the heart of towns and cities. Beautiful eco-designed homes set within green campus-style environments, where you’ll experience a new generation of later living services. So you can live as you want to live.
A fulfilling life is an active one. At Guild Living, your home, environment and services are all designed to help you stay independent. Even the most fit and healthy of us need a little support at times. That’s why we’re delivering a new generation of health and wellbeing services, with on-site assistance whenever you need it. So you can stay active, and carry on being you.
Guild Living homes are located in the centre of bustling towns and cities, providing easy access to all the vibrancy, culture and convenience that’s on offer. There is a misconception that later living has to be isolated, separated away from the great things around us. We’re sure you don’t agree. At Guild Living, you will be at the heart of our communities and lives.
It all started with a conversation between Eugene Marchese and Michael Eggington about their frustrations and aspirations around ageing, wellbeing and later living. With significant global experience in later living, they both agreed that we needed a better way to age.
Designed by world-renowned architects and later living specialists, Guild Living will support you as you age. From appliance heights to lighting, access to security – everything is ergonomically-designed to meet your needs. Combining beautiful landscaping and interiors, all Guild Living communities are located in the heart of bustling towns and cities.
Explore new experiences, learn and indulge your curiosity. With our green, campus-style environments, you’re guaranteed to meet like-minded people who want to do things, go places and actively contribute. It’s a lifestyle designed to inspire. Take part in classes, talks and cultural activities that are as stimulating as they are sociable.
The time has come to look at our later life in a whole new way. Our mission is to enable positive ageing and ensure that our focus is on healthspan, and not just lifespan. Guild Living communities will offer a range of residential options in beautifully-designed environments, which work to support the physical, emotional and cognitive wellbeing of every Guild Living member.
In partnership with Legal & General and a leading team of ageing experts – including Emeritus Professor Malcolm Johnson, and the University of Bath – we are delivering later living solutions that are informed by global academic research.
Creating environments and opportunities to enable more people to live as they want for longer is a shared ambition for many of our researchers across many disciplines at the University. We’re able to produce world-leading research and experts to tackle this challenge, but by having good partnerships like Guild Living, with which we can exchange our knowledge and realise our ambition, we can ensure the results of our efforts not only benefit our City’s residents, but our region, nation and society as a whole.
PROFESSOR JULIE BARNETT, FACULTY OF HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES
What I’m really passionate about is thinking about individuals and how we change people’s lives. It’s making sure we use the scale of the development to the benefit of an individual. One of our founding principles is about being inclusive, so you’re not seeing a gated community, you’ll have an accessible, lively, active, multi-generational community.
PHIL BAYLISS, CEO OF LATER LIVING
We are creating adaptable spaces where people can age in place. We don’t want these to feel institutional in any shape or form. At Marchese Partners, we believe in being able to design a beautifully functional home that allows the resident to age in place. This applies to the design of the kitchen, bathrooms, and adaptable spaces – so that they know they can move into this place and not have to move again.
