What is Housing with Care?

The expert care we can provide ranges from practical help with getting dressed and bathed or household tasks, such as laundry and shopping, to companionship and conversation.

And it’s all tailored to your individual needs so you can choose how much help you receive and when, and this can be adjusted as your needs change.

If you are currently � nding it di� cult to remain in your home but do not yet need or want the high level of care available in residential or nursing homes, Housing with Care may be just the right move for you. Whether you are on your own or in a couple, we can cater for your needs.

We also o� er a 24-hour emergency response service so you know that help is always at hand should you need it urgently.

3

Housing with Care o� ers many advantages, not least that you are living in the comfort of your own home with your belongings all around you.

Other bene� ts include:

• You can choose whether to buy or rent an apartment

• Couples and friends can stay together

• You have your own front door, to come and go as you please

• Being safe and secure - access to residential areas, and reception doors at night, only by a residents’ electronic key fob

• Communal facilities where you can meet with your neighbours and friends if you want to

• Parking for a car, subject to availability

• Care teams on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week

• Your own individual care package, which can be altered as your needs change.

Why choose Housing with Care?

“A recent study of a similar scheme showed a 46 per cent reduction in

the number of visits people made to their GP over the course of a year.

The same study also showed a 10 per cent improvement in

memory.”

How does Housing with Care work?

One of the main attractions of Housing with Care is the � exibility it o� ers and how it can be tailored to suit your needs. This also extends to the type of tenure you choose, as bpha o� er options to either rent or buy through shared ownership.

With shared ownership you can choose to purchase up to 75 per cent of your new home, maybe keeping some cash back for holidays or to see your family. Our managers can explain both rental and shared ownership options to help you work out what would be best for you.

Once you have decided to move into one of our apartments we will sit down with you and discuss what you would like us to provide in terms of help and support. Don’t forget that your individual package of care is not set in stone, and it can easily be altered if your needs change.

5

Housing with Care developments are made up of self-contained one or two-bedroom apartments, all carefully designed and built to help you live as independently as you can.

With ease of living paramount, all apartments have mobility standard kitchens, with built-in oven and hob, and en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers, and you can easily install grab rails.

As all too often it’s the little things that can make the di� erence, all plug and aerial sockets are located higher o� the ground than usual

What is the accommodation like? for easy access and in many developments front doors have letter-box cages so you don’t have to bend down to pick post o� the � oor.

Some apartments have balconies and winter gardens so you can get fresh air and keep gardening should you wish.

Best of all, our apartments all come unfurnished, meaning you can � ll them with your favourite personal belongings to make them feel like home from the word go.

Apartments are sold or rented unfurnished
