At All Care, we provide Extra Care Scheme Support across 14 locations in the south of england.
An extra care housing scheme is a type of housing specifically designed for older people who need a higher level of support and care than traditional sheltered housing. Residents live in their own self-contained flats or houses within a larger complex, while also having access to on-site care and support services, such as personal care, meals, and 24-hour emergency response.
