Resident story

Elsie – Wixams Village

Honestly, moving to Wixams is one of the best things I’ve ever done. It’s given me a new chapter, full of connection, purpose, and joy. It feels like this place was made for me. What more could anyone want?

John – Wixams

For someone living with dementia, being here is so much better than trying to manage out in the wider community. The care team know me and understand what I need, and they offer support in a respectful, low-key way.

David & June Hope, Wixams Retirement Village

The staff are absolutely fantastic. They’re a delight to associate with and since we’ve been here they could not have been more helpful. I’ve got nothing but compliments for them, and they do it with a smile as well which is so important!

Affordable living

Care & wellbeing

Social rented properties

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

Follow the below link to have a watch of our care video to find out more.

Find out more about our Care and Wellbeing services here.

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

At Wixams Village these can be applied for by contacting the Village on 01234 981 000 Option 3 for an Application Form.

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.
