Operations
- Independent living
- This is a scheme where residents live in private housing without direct care provision. However, services can be bought in and 24-hour emergency cover is in place.
- Assisted living
- This is a concept based on living within the grounds of an existing care home. Residents live in separate properties, and services (including care) can be provided if and when required.
- Residential care
- Some developments provide residential care for people who cannot continue living in their own home, even with home care services.
- Respite care
- Some developments provide respite care, which gives temporary relief for primary carers.
