Extra Care Housing

What is Extra Care Housing?

Extra Care sheltered housing provides older people, who have some care and housing needs, with an assured tenancy in a self-contained flat in a purpose-built or adapted scheme.

A trained care team will be based in the same building to assist with personal care and any other tasks that cannot be managed alone.

How do I get Extra Care Housing?

An assessment of your needs must be completed by a social worker.
