If you think all new retirement developments are the same

...then you're in for a pleasant surprise

Extra Care has become the accepted term for retirement housing developments where care is available, 24-hours a day, 365 days a year.

Barton Mews offers this next generation of retirement housing as a real alternative to; and a step-up from, traditional sheltered housing schemes, which do not provide personal support and care. The development offers well-designed apartments with supportive communal accommodation and hotel services for anyone seeking to maintain their independence and remain in their own home.

Who can benefit from living in Extra Care housing?

You

Anyone who desires security, peace of mind, and wishes to retain complete independence, with the benefits of home ownership, for the whole of their life. Barton Mews provides the real comfort that; should you ever need care, then it is always on hand to whatever extent you require.

Barton Mews also provides a real alternative to a residential care or nursing home at a fraction of the cost. Faced with frailty or a home that no longer meets your needs - we can provide the solutions to your cleaning, catering, companionship and health needs.

You can choose between maintaining your privacy within your own apartment or enjoy the companionship of others in the communal areas. You will also be able to impress and entertain your friends and family in the hotel-style public areas, which include comfortable lounges, activity studio, restaurant, terrace, café bar, beauty salon and media library, with computer and internet access. They can even stay over in the comfortable, overnight guest suite, with twin beds and en-suite bathroom.

Your loved ones

Our parents often need our support in their older age. However, adaptations at home are increasingly costly and sometimes impractical, and being able to find the time required to fulfil all their personal care needs is not always possible, particularly if they live some distance away. In addition, costly care institutions are not always suitable for our relatives and may be restrictive when seeking to spend quality time together as a family.

Investing in an Extra Care apartment at Barton Mews can provide an ideal alternative to help your relative maintain their independence, yet allow for higher levels of care to be delivered whenever they need it and in their own safe and secure home.

Direct telephone access and assistive technology will give you, and them, added reassurance and allow you to stay in touch, reinforcing your care provision.

Your are never on your own at Barton Mews.
