Penta-A Support and Care Services has keyed into Extra Care Shelter Scheme with an arrangement with property developers who have  purposely build accommodations for Extra Care Scheme in order for us to handle the care element of the Scheme while the property management rests on the property developers as the landlords.

So what is Extra Care Scheme?  It is sometimes known as ‘housing with care’, ‘very sheltered housing’, ‘assisted living’ or ‘close care’. It enables individuals to access as much or as little help as required to enable them to live as independently as possible.

Extra Care Scheme is where residents live in self-contained homes – often a flat or bungalow – but care staff are available to help with getting in and out of bed, washing and dressing. They might also help with cleaning or provide meals. Care staff are sometimes based onsite (for example, if the accommodation is part of a care home complex), but can also be community based, and are typically available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Anyone can approach Penta-A Support and Care services for support in Extra Care Scheme. At Penta-A and Care services, we are opened to both the Landlord and the resident for service. We are happy to sign a contract of care provision with landlord for your care as a resident and at other hand, Integral Focus Support and Care Services is more than happy to enter into direct arrangement with you for provision of care with the knowledge of your landlord.
