ExtraCare Communities

The ExtraCare Charitable Trust is committed to developing inspirational villages for the over 55s, as an alternative to the traditional care home. We enable older people to enjoy healthy, active, and independent lifestyles in their later years.

We believe that health, age or financial means should be no barrier to an enhanced quality of life.

Offering levels of on-site care appropriate to individual needs, we foster an environment of supported independence where residents can take advantage of the social and leisure opportunities provided by the Trust.

Our communities are diverse and fun. Residents can enjoy exciting activities and engage with family, friends and volunteers representing all generations.

"How does one keep from 'growing old inside'? Surely only in community. The only way to make friends with time is to stay friends with people…. Taking community seriously not only gives us the companionship we need, it also relieves us of the notion that we are indispensable."

Robert McAfee Brown - Theologian and activist
