Our partnerships are tailored to the needs of local areas and bring together the skills, expertise and finance to develop and operate each scheme or village. By working as a team we are able to create projects on a bigger and better scale, with the result that our impact within the local community is far greater than could be achieved by working alone.

International Partnerships

In 2011, ExtraCare signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Australian aged care provider IRT to formalise a partnership to share knowledge between the two organisations. IRT is one of Australia's largest community-based senior lifestyle and care providers, managing communities in more than 30 locations and to almost 6,000 customers. As part of this partnership, ExtraCare's Imperial Court Scheme Manager Ginny Larkin spent four weeks visiting IRT's facilities in Australia during November and December 2011. A staff member from IRT will be returning the visit in spring 2012.
