Property charges
Resident story
At ExtraCare we assist our residents to maximise their income through identifying benefits and assistance they may be missing out on.
The following costs associated with Village residency may be eligible for support through the Welfare Benefits System:
- Housing costs of a shared ownership or rental property
- The provision of care
- Weekly charges
Our Welfare Benefits Advisors can advise, in confidence, about a resident’s entitlements. In some rare cases, levels of benefit entitlement may be insufficient, but our Welfare Benefits Team is able to complete an affordability assessment with you to offer guidance and support.
In 2024/2025 our advisors saved residents over £5.3M and supported 70% of residents to receive what they are entitled to.
Just 20% of our residents are in receipt of care, however ExtraCare takes pride in providing exceptional services for those who need it.
This includes:
- Assisted living support
- Wellbeing support
- Dementia care

We have a number of social rented homes available across our locations, for which applicants must be over 55 years old.

Priority is given to older people who have a housing need and / or in need of care. Applicants must have a local connection to Bristol or South Bedford.
