Extra Care

Our ethos is to encourage involvement of Service Users and the wider community to enable our sites not only be to places where Service Users can be supported to re-discover life skills and engage in the community, but to develop the involvement of the community around them, using the Extra Care site as a community 'hub'.

We use the following practical guidance on delivering care provision in Extra Care settings.

  • Living at home - not in a home
  • Having one's own front door
  • Flexible care based on individual need
  • Opportunity to preserve/re-build independent living skills
  • Provision of accessible buildings
  • Building a real community
