Extra Assisted Care - Retain your independence

What is Extra Assisted Care or Housing with Care?

Extra Assisted Care, sometimes known as Extra Care Housing or Housing With Care, are retirement properties that allow you to retain your independence while knowing you've got support on hand should you need it.

Retirement Living PLUS and Extra Assisted Care

McCarthy Stone Retirement Living PLUS developments are an example of Extra Assisted Care properties. When you own, rent or part buy and part rent a beautiful apartment in one of our retirement communities, you don’t have to worry about chores like gardening or maintaining a building.

Our Retirement Living PLUS properties are exclusive to the over 70s. You buy or rent a beautiful spacious apartment with a extra benefits including a subsidised chef-run onsite restaurant or bistro, serving everything from barista coffee and cake to three course meals - ideal for when you don't feel like cooking. Some of our Retirement Living PLUS developments also offer Wellness Suites, Beauty Salons and Hairdressers onsite.

Retirement Living PLUS developments have a manager onsite at all times for your total peace of mind. And these developments include one hour of domestic support a week as standard. While they do not provide the same level of personal or medical care as a care home, they do offer flexible and bespoke domestic and personal care packages that are tailored to your needs. The level of support can go up or down - for instance you may need additional help if you fall ill, but this can be scaled back when you recover.

Extra Assisted Care: making it easier to live an independent life

Extra Assisted Care can be the perfect choice if you think you might need a little extra help now or in the future. But remember Retirement Living PLUS development isn't a care home, and we don't offer nursing care – so if you have ongoing medical needs, it might not be for you.
