Extra Care Housing Care and Support Services

ECH is specialist independent living housing option for adults with health and social care needs. It is targeted at people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities or ill mental health. The aim is to create a community within Extra Care where people stay independent as long as possible, with their front door but have access to care and support. To achieve this, the aspiration is to accommodate people with a mix of care and support needs with approximately one third of occupiers having a high dependency care need, one third having medium dependency care needs and one third should have low dependency or support needs.
