Our Extra Care schemes in Caerphilly and Blaenau Gwent are designed carefully to allow older people to live independently in a home of their own with other services on hand if they need or want them.
The United Welsh schemes can benefit people who need an excellent living environment following a hospital stay, or provide a good option if your home becomes unsuitable due a change in circumstances. In short, our schemes help people take care of themselves for longer.
Main Benefits of Extra Care:
- Stay Independent – self contained homes with lounge, bedroom and private bathroom with level access shower
