Extra Care Housing, also known as or housing with care, is a modern housing solution for older adults or individuals with care needs who want to maintain their independence. Residents or Tenants live in self-contained apartments with access to 24/7 care and support services, offering a flexible alternative to traditional care homes.
Extra Care Housing is ideal for: Older adults who need support with daily tasks but want to maintain their independence. Individuals being discharged from hospital who need care but don’t want to move into a care home. People with long-term health conditions or disabilities who require flexible care options. Those seeking a community-based living environment with access to social activities and support services.
Yes, Extra Care Housing is an excellent option for hospital discharge. If you no longer need hospital care but require ongoing support, Extra Care Housing provides a safe and supportive environment where you can recover and maintain your independence.
Safety and well-being are our top priorities. We provide: 24/7 emergency response systems in every apartment. Regular health and safety checks by trained staff. Access to on-site healthcare professionals, including nurses and therapists. A secure environment with controlled access and CCTV (where appropriate).
Unlike care homes, Extra Care Housing provides private apartments with your own personal spaces, including kitchen, living space, and front door. Care is available on-site, but you have the freedom to live independently. Care homes typically involve larger living spaces and less privacy, making Extra Care Housing a popular choice for those who value independence.
Extra Care Housing offers a range of support services, including: Personal care (e.g. help with bathing, dressing, and medication), 24/7 emergency assistance, meal preparation and housekeeping (if required), social activities and community events and access to healthcare professionals, such as nurses or therapists.
Extra Care Housing within supported housing is designed for older adults or those with age-related care needs, offering a mix of independence and care. Supported Living within supported housing is generally for people with disabilities or long-term conditions who need support to live independently but may not require 24/7 care.
Absolutely! We encourage families to visit and be involved in their loved one’s care. Our facilities include fantastic, homely communal spaces where residents can spend time with family and friends, and we also host family-friendly events throughout the year.
