Extra Care housing offers the same benefits as sheltered accommodation but with enhanced facilities and care and support staff available 24 hours a day. You would live in your own self-contained flat, within a purpose-built development comprising between 32 and 175 flats.
Extra Care facilities support the improvement of your welfare and encourage socialisation. You can be provided with better living accommodation at an affordable and competitive rate. Your wellbeing can improve due to a cleaner, healthier and safer living environment which, in turn, can benefit your health and social care.
Although developments vary, the benefits of Extra Care include:
- Independent apartments with own front door;
- Wheelchair accessibility and Lifetime Homes design;
- Shared communal areas;
- Support facilities;
- 24/7 emergency help;
- Individual support planning;
- Assistive technology (devices designed to maintain or improve your ability to do everyday things);
- Restaurant on site; and
- Activities that promote and support healthy living.
