Bridging the gap between conventional
retirement housing and a residential or nursing
home, Downlands Court offers the best of
both worlds. Enjoy the independence of your
own apartment, as well as peace of mind that
professional support is on hand, if and when you
need it.
You’ll also benefit from a friendly scheme
manager on-site to keep everything running
smoothly. It is their job to make sure that the
building and grounds are well maintained and
that residents are able to live as independently as
possible.
Care and support
Downlands Court offers its residents care and
support with everyday living, provided by a team
of professional carers. The onsite care team
deliver planned care calls to customers and
respond to emergencies.
Downlands Court can be an ideal solution for
couples who require different levels of care,
enabling you to continue living together while
receiving the support you need. Generally, you
must be over the age of 60 to qualify.
To use the on-site care team, you will need to
have your needs assessed by the local council.
This will determine how much care you will
receive and what you will have to pay.
There are upper limits to the amount of care
and support that can be provided in an extra
care scheme and, very occasionally, alternative
accommodation may have to be arranged for
residents. This decision would be made by health
and social care professionals in conjunction with
the family or an advocate acting for the resident.
You can purchase care privately if you prefer.
