Services for a brighter future

Extra Care Housing

EXTRA CARE HOUSING IN LYMINGTON

The Extra Care Housing was designed to enable those people who had already moved in to sheltered accommodation, the chance to remain there as their physical health deteriorated. 

By supplying care workers who would deliver personal care, shopping, domestic and companion services as a single package of care, care would be more 'joined up' for the service user, and prevent admission to residential care for as long as possible.

This service is available to residents who live within a one mile radius of Lymington town centre in sheltered housing, including residents in private accommodation within the same geographical boundary.

This service is delivered through partnership working with the Lymington Adult Services and the New Forest District Council.  Access to the service is via Lymington Adult Services.


EXTRA CARE HOUSING IN SOUTHAMPTON

The Extra Care service in Southampton is designed to meet the needs of frail and vulnerable older people and enable them to maximise their independence and remain in the community if their support needs increase and thus reduce the need for residential care.

Desired outcome of service:

• Diversity and choice in the provision of housing support and care.
• Service user's needs and any increased needs are supported by a flexible responsive service.
• Service users remain as independent as possible within their local community.
• Service users overall sense of wellbeing is improved and their dignity respected by remaining in their own home.
• Service users access the wider community beyond the housing unit.

The service is currently run at:

• Rozel Court - Lordshill- Southampton City Council
• Manston Court- Lordshill- Southampton City Council
• Rosebrook Court- Bitterne- Saxon Weald Housing Association  


SCA has worked in partnership with SCC Housing colleagues for many years in it's delivery of services across the City.  SCA is committed to continuing this collaborative approach as the Extra Care schemes are developed.  Regular liaison with SCC housing staff will be a feature with the aim of a joint approach to improving the lives of those people living at the extra care schemes.
