Extra Care

Extra care schemes provide all the normal facilities of sheltered housing together with additional support and care from an on-site care team

What Extra Facilities are Available?

  • Extra Care Schemes provide housing for elderly or disabled residents who require more specialised amenities and greater support than is usually available.
  • The schemes have special features including easy access for people with disabilities or who are in a wheelchair. 

These sites also have:

  • On site care team
  • An on site lunchtime catering team
  • Kitchen and Dining room
  • Hair Salon
  • Health and exercise room
  • Health and beauty room

Meals

A hot two course lunch is provided every day for all residents and served in the dining hall and you only have to give 24 hours notice to invite family and friends. (Special events: please enquire for price as it may vary). The menu is wide and varied and changes on a 4-weekly basis.

Please note that all new tenants to the schemes are eligible for the costs of the meals and the payment is not subject to any housing benefit reduction.  If a resident is in hospital or respite care over 2 weeks, you will be entitled to a refund on this charge from week 3.
