Extra care

Support around the clock

Inevitably, as we get older, many of us will need some extra support to maintain a satisfying, independent lifestyle.

What is Extra Care Living?

Extra Care Living offers residents the opportunity to buy or rent a retirement property on a development where further enhanced support and facilities are required, over and above those provided by Assisted Living options. These include access to care services.

Who is it for?

Extra Care Living is suitable for people who want to maintain a sense of independence, but need the reassurance of extra care and support. It is a good option to consider if the person is looking to avoid or defer a move to a residential care or nursing home.

The extra facilities and support available on an Extra Care Development might typically include:

• Round-the-clock staffing with an Emergency Call Response System
• Flexible housekeeping and homecare support options
• Wheelchair friendly building design with access ramps
• On-site nursing care may also be available
• Walk-in, non-slip shower facilities
• Table service restaurant offering three nutritionally-balanced meals a day
• A dedicated minibus for shopping trips and daily excursions may be provided
