Mayflower Court (Hanover Housing)

Mayflower Court

Hanover Housing [external link] in partnership with Darlington Borough Council's Housing and Social Services Department have designed the Easthaven Scheme, a £3.2 million scheme with 24 hour care and support.

Mayflower Court, Yarm Road has been designed with the foresight, imagination and care to ensure that older people have access to appropriate, cost-effective housing which maximises their dignity and independence, providing the opportunity to live life to the full.  

It would suit the needs of people as they grow older or who have disabilities. It is particularly relevant to residents in their eighties or older who require more specialised amenities and greater support than is usually available in retirement accommodation. 

There are 44 self-contained extra care apartments. Each apartment has a bedroom, lounge, kitchen and a bathroom with level-entry shower, full central heating and community alarm link.

Scheme facilities include:

  • Common Room
  • Dining Room
  • Laundry Room
  • Shop
  • Health and Beauty Treatment Room
  • Guest Room for family and friends
  • Landscaped gardens

Hanover provide professional support during working hours through Estate Managers who look after the property and are responsible for ensuring that residents are assisted in obtaining the care and support they require from the relevant specialised agencies.  

A community alarm also provides 24 hour cover.

The result of thoughtful design, extra care housing incorporates many special features such as easy access for people with disabilities or in wheelchairs, textured flooring and talking lifts to help residents find their way about, and restaurant facilities to ensure access to at least one hot meal a day.

Office space is also provided for a 24-hour care team which is organised in conjunction with the Social Services Department.  As a result, each resident can receive an appropriate level of care and support - if and when they need it.  Extracare can also provide an ideal base for intermediate care provision.
