Extra care housing is designed for frail older people, and there are varying levels of care and support available on site. People who live in extra care housing have their own self contained homes, their own front doors, and a legal right to occupy the property.

We have completed various schemes and new schemes are under construction that offer older people an opportunity to rent or purchase a home under the shared ownership scheme.  Find out more about our new extra care housing developments that are available for purchase.
