The housing is managed by either GreenSquareAccord or Catalyst Housing Ltd. In addition, there is a 24-hour personal care service on-site every day provided by Oxfordshire County Council. A mid-day meal service is offered at an extra cost.
Various activities are organised for residents plus there are a variety of additional learning and activity projects available for persons over 50 available from a nearby community centre.
Because the scheme has a wide mixture of properties (some with stairway access), priority allocations are made to those with a housing need (living in, or a connection to, Oxford) plus a wide range of care needs, although those with no care needs at present may be considered." Show less
