Show more "Long Ground consists of 8 flats, all with their own bathrooms and kitchen, It is is part of the Greater Leys Extra Care scheme which is for people who need a little more help to live in their homes.
The service as a whole offers 156 properties for older people aged 55+; comprising two sheltered housing blocks and various other separate houses and flats, all within close distance of each other.
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
