Our Future

Our existing homes have served their purpose well for many years, but they fall well short of modern standards for older people’s housing.  The issues we face include:  no access for wheelchairs or mobility scooters, lack of space for people with care and support needs, including small bathrooms and kitchens, poor noise and heat insulation, limited communal space and high maintenance costs.  And there are significant limitations on how they could be adapted to meet modern and future best practice in housing for older people.

To address this and to meet an increasing demand from applicants, we are working to develop a new state-of-the-art scheme of modern, spacious housing, with excellent communal facilities and easy access to care and support services.

Our vision is to provide high quality housing for an increased number of older women in need, with support and care available, and providing a home for life.  The future scheme will be a mixed community of independent and active women in housing need and those who need more support or have additional care needs.  Support and care services will be available on site so residents can be assured that in most cases their future needs will be met at home.

There will be facilities for a range of community activities including social, recreational, craft and cultural to encourage a full and active lifestyle to combat loneliness and isolation.

We’re working hard to make this vision a reality.
