Care and Support in Extra Care Housing Framework

Cumberland Council has various sized Extra Care Housing schemes within its area. The extra care schemes are made up of self-contained units which comprise of a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and 1 or 2 bedrooms. Each scheme will have a communal area such as a lounge, café, or activity room. Extra Care Housing Schemes provide an onsite care team 24/7 to ensure the care and support for people residing within the schemes in Cumberland can meet planned and unplanned assessed care needs to enable people to live as independently as possible. The care and support needs to be flexible, responsive, and able to provide non-scheduled support to people as required. Refer to the service specification at schedule 2 for further details. Extension and uplift amounts are indicative only and the council does not guarantee these at this stage. Any extensions / uplifts will be confirmed with successful providers.
