Location
People with Alzheimer’s can live in extra care housing. As part of the assessment of each person all health conditions are considered to ensure their care and support needs can be met before they are accepted on to the waiting list for accommodation.
Yes. There are 2 bed apartments that are spacious and ideal for couples. When assessing the suitability of couples wishing to be considered for extra care housing we would look at the needs of both individuals and as a couple.
The main difference would be that in our extra care housing there is an on-site care and support team. This team provides services to people as agreed by their individual care and support plans.
When a vacancy arises everyone on the waiting list will be considered. The property will be offered to whoever is deemed, at the time of the vacancy, to be in the greatest need.
Consideration will be given to any escalation of risk of a person losing their independence and/or increasing level of support needed, should they remain in their current accommodation.
Your needs may change over time and the level of care and support you need may fluctuate. The teams will support you to stay living in your home for as long as possible for as long as your needs can be met.
No. The apartments are for rent only.
Yes – the meal service is a condition of the tenancy. This is because overheads are incurred even if a person chooses not to have a meal.
No. White goods are not included.
There is non-slip flooring in the kitchen and walk-in shower room, leaving other rooms for you to choose and provide your own flooring.
We ask that you seek advice from the facility staff before floor coverings are chosen to ensure consideration can be given to the opening and closing of doors in your apartment.
No. There is no gas to the apartments. There is provision in the kitchen for you to install an electric cooker.
Yes you can decorate your apartment. When the property is newly-built we ask that a period of 12 months is left before any decoration is undertaken to allow the building to settle.
Yes you can put up pictures. We ask that you seek the advice of the facility staff before this is done to ensure the correct fixings are used and consideration is given to electric cabling and water piping.
In most cases, yes. We will establish how people care for their pet and that they understand that internal and external areas are shared before giving permission.
Your apartment is your own home – you can go out and have visitors when you want.
