Extra Care housing

If you're 55 and over, still independent but need more help from time to time, then Extra Care housing could be for you.

Our Extra Care housing properties offer you a high-quality home, a range of great on-site facilities in a fully accessible setting, a thriving community, and peace of mind. It's just like living in an independent retirement flat, but with the added benefit of care and support from a on-site team of professionals when you need it.

 

What types of care and support can be offered?

You decide the type and level of support that suits your lifestyle and your needs as they change.

Staff are on-site 24-hours a day and you'll have access to an emergency call service for added reassurance. Plus a full-time manager is based at each location to help with maintaining your home and managing your tenancy. 

What facilities can I expect?

Whatever the facilities, you'll find our Extra Care housing locations are thriving communities. Each offers a variety of social activities to take part in as and when you wish and active links with the local community, including specialised interest groups and services.

What will my home be like?

All of our properties are self-contained, with their own front door, offering the privacy and independence you expect.

Your home will have a bathroom, kitchen with fully-fitted cupboards, ample storage space, lounge and bedroom areas. It will be easy to maintain and you will have the freedom to decorate and furnish it as you wish.

For added peace of mind, each of our properties are also fitted with a 24-hour emergency call and secure door entry system.

What else should I know?

We have more than 100 Extra Care housing locations ranging in size across the country, offering you choice wherever you would like to live.

Our Extra Care housing is affordable, with most services eligible for housing benefit, and the majority of our properties are rented on an assured tenancy giving you security. 

Some of our Extra Care housing locations also offer shared ownership properties should you wish to purchase your home.

Application process

To ensure Extra Care housing is right for you, and you meet local eligibility criteria, your application will usually need to go through a local process which involves the local authority, a nominated care provider and us. 

Once you have found an Anchor Extra Care housing property that you are interested in, simply get in touch with the local manager and they will explain the specific application process, eligibility criteria and any local charges for that property. You will also be able to arrange a viewing with them to see the facilities first-hand and get a proper sense of what it might be like to live there.
