Extra Care Housing

What is Extra Care?

Extra care housing is a type of housing designed for older people or people who require some level of care and support to live independently. Extra care housing provides a combination of on-site support services, personal care and 24-hour emergency assistance while allowing people to maintain their privacy and independence in their own self-contained accommodation. 

Key features of extra care housing may include:

  • Self-contained apartment with your own living space, bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. 
  • On-site care and support services to meet the needs of individuals living in the scheme
  • 24-hour emergency assistance to provide help in case of an emergency
  • Communal facilities including lounges, restaurants, gardens and recreational facilities often used for relaxing and socialising. 

Extra care aims to provide a supportive environment that promotes independence, social interaction and overall well-being to the people who live there. It offers a balance between independent living and access to care and support services, ensuring people are treated with respect and dignity in comfortable surroundings.
