In our Extra Care properties you continue to live independently, but with the peace of mind of having on-site Care Workers to help if and when you need it. We have a range of housing types including apartments and bungalows available for rent, shared ownership and outright sale.

In Extra Care you also benefit from:

  • The privacy and security of your own home
  • A dedicated manager
  • On-site care team
  • A 24 hour emergency alarm
  • An impressive range of communal facilities including cafe/bistro, lounge, hair salon and gardens
  • Your pets are also welcome too!

Our Extra Care developments

We have 18 retirement living developments, across Cheshire, Staffordshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Yorkshire and Lancashire.

You’ll notice that seven of these schemes are listed as PFI. This is a Private Finance Initiative, where we’ve worked in partnership with others to enable us to offer these quality, purpose-built buildings.

  • In Cheshire, owned by Avantage, they are Hazelmere, Hollymere, Oakmere and Willowmere.  
  • In Stoke, it’s Sapphire, and they are Maple West, Oak Priory, and Willow Barns.
