Extra Care

Extra Care Housing, also sometimes called very sheltered, or assisted living housing is a growing and popular part of the housing with care market.

Most ‘extra care’ residents are older people and they often find it attractive because it offers ‘independent living in a home of their own’, with a range of other services on hand, if they need or want them.

Our ‘Extra Care’ Scheme at Alexandra Court has 20 independent self-contained flats, all specifically designed for the elderly.

We provide good sized furnished rooms (although some residents may like to bring certain items of their own furniture). All the rooms have nicely appointed ‘en suite’ bath / shower rooms). In addition, there are on each floor assisted bathrooms for people who require help with bathing.

The scheme has its own dining room and we engage a firm of experienced caterers who provide breakfast, a cooked midday meal and early evening tea.

This is a bright and airy development with ample communal spaces for sitting - either in the formal lounge area (with its own large flat screen TV), or the bright and comfortable conservatory area.

Alexandra Court is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and it benefits from resident care staff on duty 24 hours every day. Every room is linked to a ‘warden call’ system so that help can be easily obtained from the well trained and friendly resident care staff.

Our Manager at Alexandra Court is Anita Shan and you can contact her directly on 0121 245 1079. Anita would be very happy to show any interested residents (or their family/carers) around the building and also a typical room - but by appointment please. Alternatively, you could also make an appointment by contacting our friendly customer service team on 0121 245 1002.
