Choosing extra care housing
Extra care housing is a flat or bungalow of your own in a scheme with care staff on site, so help is there when you need it. It sits between living at home and moving into a care home.
Things to check
- Ask who owns or rents the home, and what your tenancy rights are.
- Ask what support is included, when staff are on site and what happens at night.
- Ask how you are involved in planning your own support.
- Read the latest CQC report for the care provider.
Whoever ends up paying, you can ask your council’s adult social care team for a free assessment of what help you need. Our guide explains what to expect and what to ask.
