In 2025-26, Housing 21 commissioned Acuity to carry out a Care Satisfaction Survey with residents who receive a care component in an Extra Care scheme.
The purpose of the survey is to provide quality data to help improve the service provision. We undertook a census approach of Extra Care residents who could complete the survey online by scanning a QR code. Alternatively, they had the option to complete the paper version and return the survey themselves or get help from someone else.
Please note, property availability may be different from those numbers below. This can be due to people already on our waiting lists and/ or applications being processed but not yet complete. Please use the enquiry form at the bottom of the screen and a member of the team will be in touch with you shortly.
This lively Court offers residents a range of social events to get involved in; regular activities include bingo sessions, fish & chip suppers and, in addition, local school children regularly perform plays to entertain.
