There are several different benefits in choosing to live in extra care housing, these include: 

• Couples and friends can stay together  
• You have your own front door to come and go as you please  
• Being safe and secure - access to communal areas and reception doors at night, is only through a residents’ electronic key fob  

• Communal facilities where you can meet with your neighbours and friends if you want to  
• Parking for a car, subject to availability  
• Care teams on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week  
• Your own individual care package, which can be altered as your needs change  

Housing with Care schemes are made up of self-contained one or two-bedroom apartments, all carefully designed and built to help you live as independently as you can.

With ease of living paramount, all apartments have mobility standard kitchens, with built-in oven and hob, and en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers, and you can easily install grab rails.

As all too often it’s the little things that can make the difference, all plug and aerial sockets are located higher off the ground than usual for easy access and in many developments front doors have letter-box cages so you don’t have to bend down to pick post off the floor.

Some apartments have balconies and winter gardens so you can get fresh air and keep gardening should you wish.

Best of all, the apartments all come unfurnished, meaning you can fill them with your favourite personal belongings to make them feel like home from the word go.
