Independent living (housing with support)

FlexiCare Housing is an option if you are older or have varying care needs. You can live in your own home and the care you get can be increased or decreased as your needs change.

Flexicare could be suitable for you if you:

• find it hard to cope in your current home
• need home care services
• have care needs which might change
• currently have few care needs but might need more in the future.

Our Flexicare Sheltered Housing is based at Chilton Green.
