What is extra care housing?
Extra care is sometimes known as assisted living or sheltered housing.
This is when a resident owns, rents or part-rents their own purpose-built home within a scheme that provides communal spaces and care support for them.
Our services are commissioned by the local authorities and are available to people living at, or moving to, selected schemes.
If you have a tenancy at Gainsborough Court extra care housing in Bristol, you may be eligible for a personalised care plan with us.
