What is extra care housing?
Through our extra care services, we aim to support you to remain as independent as possible.
Agincare’s extra care services are commissioned by the Local Authority at the four sheltered/extra care schemes in Bristol and South Glos.
We provide services to people living at or moving to the scheme following appropriate Adult Services assessments of need and financial eligibility.
That means that if you have a tenancy in one of these schemes you may be eligible for support from our teams.
If you are eligible, we may be able to help with:
- Shopping
- Housekeeping
- Personal care
- Support to attend social activities
- Help with medication
- Dementia care
- Night care
- Regular welfare calls
- Responding to emergencies and providing additional pop-in calls and support that may well prevent the need for hospital admission
