We will do whatever we can to help someone stay in their own home and for them to be as independent as possible. This could include support or special equipment at home, or moving to an extra care housing scheme.
Contact us if you need help deciding what is best for you.
Extra care housing schemes have self-contained one or two bedroom apartments complete with a kitchen, lounge and bathroom or shower room. Care or support staff are on duty 24 hours a day, and all apartments have an emergency alarm system.
There are shared facilities at each extra care housing scheme, such as a communal lounge and laundry. Some schemes have a restaurant and shop on-site, too.
All extra care housing schemes are registered and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
