The notice in full
Extra Care Housing services are purpose-built developments designed to enable older people to maintain their independence by having their own front door and tenancy while living within a supportive community environment. These schemes offer opportunities for social engagement alongside access to on-site care and support services. Many Extra Care Housing schemes include facilities such as a bistro, communal areas, and social activities.
Each apartment is equipped with an emergency pull-cord system, which alerts the on-site care team should assistance be required. The combination of independent living, social opportunities, and the reassurance of a 24-hour on-site care presence makes Extra Care Housing an attractive option for many older people. Cheshire East Council currently commissions the continuous on-site care provision within four Extra Care Housing schemes across the borough.
The current care contracts are due to end on the 31st August 2027 and it is envisioned that tender for future contracts will go live in February 2027.
