ExtraCare Offers Fresh Alternative to Traditional Care Home

The vision at ExtraCare is simple: to create better lives for older people.



    CHESHIRE, ENGLAND, February 23, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The vision at ExtraCare is simple: to create better lives for older people. The alternative care homes which ExtraCare is building in various locations across the country give older people an independent, safe and secure future in the comfort of beautiful surroundings and a friendly community.

As it stands there are 3,111 homes within the housing schemes all over the UK. The homes and apartments are available for the over 55s at an affordable price. What is so different about these care homes is the extracurricular activities and diverse communities which offer older people a better quality of life.

At ExtraCare, the team believes that health, age or financial means should be no barrier to an enhanced quality of life. Each alternative care home provides its residents with exciting activities as well as on-site care which create a relaxed ambience.

Residents are offered the opportunity to learn new skills and make new friends through a series of sociable activities. On-site activities such as Art and Crafts, Ceramics, IT, Gardening and Tai Chi are available to all residents. In addition, residents can take part in excursions off-site which range from choir master classes to wheelchair abseiling.

ExtraCare Charitable Trust currently has schemes across the Midlands and the North of England but is always on the lookout for new opportunities.
