At ateb, we believe that better living starts with a place to call home, and for one remarkable couple, home has been at the heart of their incredible journey together.

This month, we are thrilled to celebrate the 70th wedding anniversary of two of our customers, a couple whose love story began in the most unexpected of places – opposite air raid shelters in Bristol during the Blitz. From that first meeting over 70 years ago, they built a lifetime of memories, always focusing on the happy times.

Reflecting on their milestone anniversary, they shared:

“We’ve been looking back on our life together and feel so grateful to ateb for helping us stay together through their independent living schemes. We have lived in two of ateb’s independent living complexes and they have given us the support we need to live independently with help from our amazing private carers. We’ve been happy ateb customers for over 18 years, and we always say – if you want to live another 20 years, go to ateb!”

Their words beautifully capture the essence of what we strive to achieve – helping people live well, in homes that suit their needs, for as long as possible. Our independent living schemes are designed to provide comfort, security, and a supportive community, allowing people to maintain their independence while having access to the right level of support when needed.

We are incredibly proud to have been part of their journey and to have played a role in ensuring they can continue living together in a home they love. Their story is a testament to the power of love, resilience, and the importance of a supportive home environment.

To this inspiring couple, we say congratulations on 70 years of love and togetherness! Here’s to many more happy years ahead.
