Our purpose built extra care sheltered housing scheme supports older people in maintaining their independence with self-contained accommodation to mobility standards. Extra care housing tailors support and care to our residents’ needs and offers social and recreational activities.
Carers are based at the scheme 24 hours a day, seven days a week and deliver personal care to meet the regularly assessed needs of each resident. Our scheme has an on site manager and 24 hour emergency cover via a community alarm.
Is Extra Care for you?
Extra Care housing could suit you if:
- You are in need / in receipt of social care and will benefit from living in an extra care environment
- You have a disability
Our Extra Care scheme
Our extra care scheme in Lambeth is called Helmi House, which offers one and two-bedroom flats. The scheme is wheelchair accessible and has a lift. Residents will have their own personal care plan, which is the responsibility of Lambeth Social Services, and a housing support plan, which the care provider is responsible for.
Our scheme provides services such as gardening, communal area cleaning, repairs and maintenance. Please see further information in this leaflet.
