Our extra care housing can help people with low level support needs as well as those who have mobility or health problems that mean they need regular or long-term care and support. Care staff are on duty day and night.

You’ll be assessed by the council (Oxfordshire Adult Social Care) and they will agree with you a care plan to meet your needs. Depending upon your circumstances and your savings, you may find that your care can be funded by the council.

If you already have a carer who you pay for, you can continue with this arrangement when you move into your new extra care home, or you can purchase care from our onsite carers.

We only need one resident who has a care need. If your husband/wife/partner does not need care you can still live together in extra care housing.

In addition to your own well-appointed kitchen in the apartment, a Soha scheme may offer either regular or occasional provision of meals which can be paid for. Please ask us what the current arrangements are in the scheme of your choice.

You’ll need to fill out a form which we can help with. Your application will then be processed and a care assessment will be carried out. We’ll let you know as soon as we can, but it will probably take two to three months to carry out the assessments and checks.
