Guided by the vision of better lives for older people, the Trust delivers integrated retirement communities offering an alternative approach to later living that challenges societal perceptions of ageing.

Its holistic model, supported by research with Aston and Lancaster Universities, has demonstrated significant benefits for residents and wider society. As pioneers of supported independent living, ExtraCare prides itself on delivering best-in-class retirement living opportunities and advocating for older people.

Since 1988, the organisation has developed retirement villages and smaller housing schemes, prioritising the wellbeing, happiness, and fulfilment of residents.
