The aim of Extra Care is to enable people aged 18 years and over to live independently for as long as possible. It provides an alternative to residential care or supported housing for people wanting their own front door but who need care and support to live in their own home.

The facilities have a mix of adults of different ages, circumstances and support needs. Intended Residents People who would benefit from Extra Care may have learning and physical disabilities, dementia, mental health and sensory needs.

They require homes that will change with their circumstances throughout their lives whilst ensuring independence, wellbeing and promoting privacy and dignity.

Extra Care apartments can be easily adaptable to respond to a persons changing situation, meaning you would not need to move if your needs change. These homes are set in a communal environment where people can feel secure whilst having the privacy of their own apartment with their own front door.
