After spending time in the hospital due to illness, it became clear to Janet that the sheltered accommodation where she had been staying could not provide her with the support she needed.
That’s when she discovered Extra Care at Housing 21. A service that provides on-site care with independent living. Janet began the search for her next home, creating a check list of everything she wanted from it.
With floor-to-ceiling windows, a washing machine in her apartment, her own balcony, community activities – Minterne Apartments had it all.
By purchasing through Older Person’s Shared Ownership, Janet was able to move into an apartment that met all her needs without excessive costs or restrictions.
Janet has been able to get her foot on the property ladder, and still enjoy the life that she wants, whether that’s meeting family and friends for dinner or going on cruises with the assistance of her carers.
“My favourite thing about Minterne is that we get to meet each other every day. We’ve made a nice group of friends here; there’s often new people coming in and we make new friends.”
“It just made sense to move here.”
“Life now is fun. I’m enjoying life, I’ve got very good carers and managers. Everyone is very friendly around here.”
