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 The Cannons in Colchester, you may be eligible for a personalised care plan with us.
The Cannons is a spectacular, Late-Georgian building, containing 38 self-contained flats, each with either one or two bedrooms. The classical exterior contrasts the warm and modern interior which provides a welcome and homely space for residents.
The Cannons Registered Manager said:
It’s a Late-Georgian building with pretty outside spaces and pillars either side of the main entrance door. It’s really grand inside and out. But it’s also a home for our residents. It’s their home.
Residents at The Cannons can benefit from on-site care staff who are available 24/7. This, along with a Careline alarm, helps residents to feel rest assured, knowing that personalised support is available whenever they need it.
Moving into an extra care housing Scheme is about maintaining independence and freedom. That’s why each property comes unfurnished, allowing residents to add their own furniture and style.
Located in the beautiful grounds, residents also have access to a range of communal facilities, including garden, laundry, hairdressing salon, and dining room. A daily meal is offered by external caterers 7 days a week.
At The Cannons, activities are set up weekly to enable residents to socialise and feel part of a community. Bingo and afternoon tea are just two popular events to look forward to.
