What is Extra Care Housing?

Extra-care housing, often referred to as "housing with care" or "assisted living," is a type of residential accommodation designed to provide older adults or individuals with care and support needs the opportunity to live independently while also having access to on-site care services and facilities.

In most cases, the benefits of extra-care housing include:

• Independent Living: Residents have their own self-contained apartments or homes, typically with a kitchen, living area, and bathroom. This allows them to maintain their independence and privacy.
• On-Site Support: Extra-care housing schemes offer varying levels of care and support services, which can include assistance with personal care tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication management.
• Community Facilities: These housing complexes often feature communal areas, such as dining rooms, lounges, and gardens, where residents can socialise and participate in activities.
• 24-Hour Emergency Assistance: Many extra-care housing schemes have staff available around the clock to respond to emergencies and provide assistance when needed.
• Meal Services: Some schemes offer meal services, where residents can choose to have meals provided in communal dining areas.
