Extra Care offers independent living with on-site care. Facilities typically include a café/ bistro, lounge, hair salon, and gardens. Couples can live together even if only one requires care. Pets are welcome too!

Benefits of Extra Care 

Some of the features and benefits of living in Extra Care with Housing 21 can be found here.

Rest assured that Housing 21 has more than 60 years of experience in designing and building properties for older people, offering a safe and secure environment with modern features and facilities.

Care and support is tailored to individual needs and delivered at home. Couples can continue living together even if one has additional care needs. Highly trained employees provide professional care, available 24/ 7 for both planned and emergency situations.

Live in your own property with support from an on-site local manager during the week who can help arrange things like repairs and maintenance in your home.

Enjoy the privacy and security of your own home with a 24-hour emergency alarm system installed, as standard. Some schemes also have a video-call entry system, with more being installed each year.

Extra Care schemes consist of one- and two-bedroom apartments or bungalows.

Enjoy access to facilities and spaces such as a resident's lounge, cafe/bistro, communal garden and a hair salon. Most schemes have planned activities and events throughout the year too which you are welcome to get involved in, should you choose to.

You must be at least 55 years old, with priority given to people over 65.

Please note, if you are looking to rent, most of our Extra Care properties are allocated jointly with the local authority, so you would need to register your details with them to be considered.

Guest rooms are available for friends and family at competitive rates. If you are planning to travel, these rooms can be used at other Housing 21 schemes too.

"As I came through the doors, my life changed. Being here allows me to retain as much of my independence as possible. I’m no longer a prisoner in my own home."

"Moving into an Extra Care Scheme gave me the best of both worlds; I had my own home, but Care Workers were available when I needed them. It was the best option for me."

Enjoy the privacy of your home with access to communal facilities. Choose to cook in your own kitchen or dine in the bistro, and it's up to you whether you decide to socialise or enjoy your privacy.
