Extra Care Housing Enabling More Older People And Those With Dementia And Long-term Conditions To Live In A Home Of Their Own, UK

Health and Care Minister Ivan Lewis today (Monday 21 July) announced
the sites that will benefit from £80million of Government funding to
build extra care housing, enabling more older people and those with
dementia and long-term conditions to live in a home of their own. He
will today be presenting the successful Barnsley extra care housing
scheme with a cheque for £3.8 million together with Sir Michael
Parkinson.


People who are unable to continue to live in their own homes have
traditionally had their choices limited to care homes, creating a
number of problems including couples finding they can no longer live
together.
