Members of the public are invited to share their views on Somerset County Council’s future provision of Extra Care Housing at a meeting in Burnham-On-Sea next week.
The public consultation meeting will take place on Friday 27th June at Rosewood Close Sheltered Housing scheme in Rosewood Close between 2pm and 4pm. Free tea and coffee will be available and everyone is welcome to attend and share their thoughts.
Extra Care Housing (ECH) is housing that enables older frail people or people with disabilities to live in their own, self-contained homes, with easy access to care and support. Also known as assisted living, housing with care, or very sheltered housing, it may come in the form of communal flats, bungalow estates or retirement villages and is a popular alternative to a care home.
The meeting is one of several being organised around the County by Somerset County Council’s Adults Social Care and Supporting People teams. They are reviewing provision and are keen to hear the public’s views on what is needed in Somerset for the next 10 to 15 years.
For more information about the meeting or to request a questionnaire in Minehead call 0844 8009283.
