Working with community partners to provide housing solutions for older people
Working in partnership with key health and social care professionals in the community is the cornerstone to our approach in both our housing and care services for the older people.
We understand the challenges you face on a daily basis and are keen to work with you to ensure vulnerable older people in the communities near our rented housing with extra care properties can be supported all year round.
With decades of experience and as a not-for-profit organisation, we have listened to and acted upon the changing needs of the sector.
Also, known as ‘Assisted Living’, ‘Housing with Care’ or ‘Extra Care Housing’, our rented housing with extra care locations offer a range of services to help tackle the specific issues that older people face. And through our close work with key partners, we can deliver individually focused services that cater to your needs and those of the people you assist.

Free resources to support your patients and their families
It's important to all of us to feel well-informed when making decisions about how and where we live.

Designed to build confidence and understanding, we invite you to share these resources with your patients when discussing their options.
