Extra care housing
Extra care housing is designed for residents:
- aged 55 or older with care needs
- who are able to live independently
- want the reassurance of 24-hour support
We have 3 extra care housing schemes in Southwark.
Our extra care schemes offer:
- 24-hour support
- practical and personal care
- leisure and recreation facilities
- a safe environment
How it works
If you think that you need extra care housing, a social worker will assess your needs and whether it’s the right type of housing for you.
A panel of social care and housing representatives will then decide if you can have an extra care home.
