Five new ‘extra care’ housing schemes will be built across Nottinghamshire and should be complete by March 2017. Extra care housing gives you the security and privacy of a home of your own, but with 24-hour care services available if you need them. There is usually a range of communal facilities and flexible space that can be used for things like well-being clinics and socialising.
The look of the housing varies. Some are new purpose-built retirement villages, others are modernised sheltered housing schemes with extra services on-site.
The new extra care accommodation will be built in Retford, Eastwood, Gedling, Ashfield and Mansfield, and will join seven existing developments which already run successfully in other parts of the county. We are working with partners to build the new housing. The first of which will become available from early 2015 in Gedling.
Ashley House is already working in partnership with NCC on the Retford Extra Care Village
