safe and sociable environment which promotes independent and active
lifestyles for older people and are a focal point for the local
community.Each development has 24 hour on-site care and support
teams, whose goal is to maximise residents independence. These
teams provide support to residents and the wider local
community.
Each extra care housing development consists of one and two
bedroom apartments, available for rent, shared ownership
or purchase.
The project aims to provide older people with an additional 2014
homes in extra care housing developments by 2011.
