Retirement Accommodation
Providing retirement accommodation with care and support
Retirement accommodation schemes with care and support, sometimes referred to as extra care, create high quality accessible homes for older people aged over 55. They attract customers who are already living in the local area and require more specialist accommodation to meet their personal needs.
This model is especially attractive to those who may need some physical and/or emotional support; it is also ideal for those who want to live within a community of like-minded people, while retaining their independence.
The proposed development will include specialist design features to enable residents to live independently in their own homes but with care and wellness services provided as and when required.
The proposal will offer:
- High quality, specialist accommodation with residents still being able to have their own front door
- A mix of apartments and bungalows
- Shared facilities offering opportunities for activities and socialising
- Efficient, secure and easy to manage modern apartments
- Improved housing choice for Cheshunt and the surrounding area, for residents over the age of 55
It will also help to free up existing local family-sized housing stock , which may currently be under-occupied by older persons who will move in to the new development.
