Manager's notes:This new scheme will provide 54 extra-care apartments to replace an existing 35 bedded residential care home. The scheme will include brand new state-of-the-art facilities including a Day Centre and 10 bed short stay rahabilitation centre. Residents will have their own flat (c.60m2 compared to a room of c.10m2), with its own front door but with the same carers that they know so well. They will be able to maintain their independence for longer and therefore hopefully prevent admission into long term care. This form of extra-care accommodation thus provides a real alternative to long term residential care.
