Naughton Fields, our first independent living scheme in Widnes, is celebrating its 10th birthday this month and its main communal areas have had a makeover to mark the occasion and keep the scheme looking fresh.

Located on Liverpool Road and officially opened by TV star and Age UK ambassador Fiona Phillips back in 2013, Naughton Fields consists of 47 two-bedroom apartments and has support on-site, as well as a bistro, hair salon and several communal facilities such as landscaped gardens and a comfy living room.

To celebrate the scheme's 10th birthday, we have completed significant investment work to refresh the building. Work includes:

• replacement of the communal light fittings
• redecorating the communal areas
• re-carpeting the building
• refurbishment of the bistro (tables / chiller counter resprayed & chairs reupholstered)
• fire mitigation works and replacement of the fire doors
• upgrading the fob door entry system
• redesign of car park to provide three more spaces
• installation of a water softener system

Naughton Fields has proved popular during the last decade, allowing residents to live completely self-sufficiently in their own home, with communal hubs to socialise and connect with neighbours. 

Highlights during the decade include three sisters all settling at Naughton to be close to each other, two residents who found love and went on to marry at Naughton and hosting a play in the garden during Covid featuring well known Liverpool actress Eithne Brown.

Naughton Fields is also home to the Olive Tree bistro. Open daily through the week to residents and public, it serves everything from hearty breakfasts, lunch, snacks and hot and cold drinks.
 

We hope the residents and visitors enjoy the newly refreshed building for many more years to come.
