You would need to be fully trained in medication administration, moving and positioning and Peg care for nutrition and medication, Diabetes, and epilepsy. You will be given full training on this in your induction with us.

What is important to us?

The people who live within our extra care services do not all have commissioned support there are many people who live here, and we only provide emergency response, this entails answering their pendant calls in an emergency.





It is important that we are supportive of everyone and their abilities and needs, we promote independence. Some people we support require low level support such as support with meals, medication, cleaning, others can require a higher level of support with personal care and moving and positioning. The aim of the extra care services is to enable people to live independently but with staff on site 24/7. Some people we support can live in their own apartment but need four calls a day supporting with meals, personal care, medication and cleaning, they don't need a nursing/care home but they do need a higher level of support.


We also support people with their social hours such as going out into the community for days out, meals out, shopping and supporting to medical appointments.


Our extra care services are not secure buildings and people are free to come and go as they please and have visitors whenever they want there are DOLS in place, everyone has their own front door. They all have pendants which are linked to the phones the support team carry and these are responded to as and when people press them for emergency support
