What is Close care housing?

Close Care schemes are a relatively new concept and consist of independent flats or bungalows built on the same site as a care home. Residents often have some services (such as cleaning) included in their service charge and other services can be purchased from the care home. Close care schemes can either be rented or purchased. Purchasers may receive a guarantee that the management will buy back the property if they enter the care home.

Use our Search for retirement housing to find close care housing in your locality.  Search by postcode, place name or county/council area, and select 'Extra care' from the Support dropdown list.
