Extra Care
Extra Care housing supports older people to live independently in their own home.
Our Extra Care developments provide purpose built apartments in a community setting, with access to on-site care and support services that can be tailored to your needs.
Life in Extra Care
Our Extra Care developments are made up of one and two bedroom apartments or bungalows, or a mix of both.
You’ll enjoy the privacy of your own self-contained property, and have full access to communal facilities. If you need care and support, we’ll work with you to ensure that the service you receive is individually tailored to meet your needs.

Elsie's story
Elsie recently moved to Rivendale because mobility problems had left her struggling to cope in her three-bedroom family home, even with great support from daughter Jane.
Jane had become Elsie’s full-time carer, but it was clear that the present situation was doing neither of them any good.
Once Elsie saw Rivendale she knew this was the place to her and says even though she will soon be 90, it has given her a new lease of life.
Elsie says: “I still have very happy memories of my old home as that’s where I lived with my husband and children, but I didn’t want to be a burden to anyone, especially Jane, so I knew it was time to move on.
“It felt like home immediately. It is lovely and warm, and I can’t believe how big the rooms are; it’s lovely.”
Jane says she has noticed a big change in her mum since moving to Rivendale.
She says: “Mum has settled really well and we couldn’t be happier.”
Independent living with peace of mind
When you rent an Extra Care property from Broadacres, you’ll have the enjoyment of your own home, with the peace of mind that any current or future care requirements will be individually assessed so that you can remain independent for as long as possible. Our care staff will provide as little or as much help as you need to manage your daily routine.
You’ll be in control of your finances, and be able to choose your level of involvement with neighbours and the local community.
Each Extra Care scheme has a range of communal facilities, including:
- lounge
- restaurant
- laundry room
- communal gardens
Other facilities will vary depending on the scheme.
We understand that pets are part of the family, so the majority of our Extra Care schemes are pet friendly. For those who can no longer manage to look after a pet at home most have P.A.T. Dog or cat visitors.
Renting an Extra Care apartment
There are many ways to rent, you can apply direct yourselves or be supported to do so by either support staff or Health and Adult Services or even your GP or local authority.
Support that suits your needs
When you apply to rent a Broadacres Extra Care property, all charges and responsibilities will be discussed with you in full during the application process. Any care charges will be set in accordance with the relevant local authority policy.
A care package that’s personal
We work in partnership with North Yorkshire County Council to provide a care package that is suitable for your individual needs and that planned package of care will in most cases be provided by external care providers but there will always be the security of having the on-site team who can respond to emergencies day or night.
Cleaning and domiciliary support
We have cleaners who keep the communal areas clean and tidy and for a reasonable charge they can also help with your flat cleaning needs, also other domestic chores, such as laundry and ironing, indoor window cleaning, spring cleaning cupboards, sorting out, shopping, etc.
