Extra Care

Welcome to Mega Nursing & Care’s Assisted Living, a dedicated service offering self-contained accommodation, typically in apartments or bungalows, designed for individuals over 55 who may need extra support with daily tasks. Our facilities are tailored to promote independence, while providing peace of mind through on-site emergency alarm systems, communal areas for socialising and 24-hour staff availability to ensure help is always at hand when needed.

While both Extra Care and Care Homes offer support to those who need assistance, there are key differences in the level of independence and type of care provided. Below is a quick comparison to help you understand the benefits of Extra Care for your loved one.

Residents live in their own self-contained apartments or bungalows with their own front door, kitchen, and living space.

Residents typically have a private bedroom but share communal living spaces and facilities.

Levels of Care

Offers round-the-clock care and supervision, typically for those with higher care needs.

Lifestyle

Promotes independent living with support. Residents can cook their own meals, participate in activities, and come and go as they please.

Provides a more structured environment with set mealtimes and organized activities.

Couples

Allows couples with differing care needs to stay living together.

Often separates couples if one partner requires significantly more care.

Facilities

Often includes communal facilities like cafes, lounges, and activity rooms, promoting acommunity atmosphere.

With Extra Care, residents can often buy,
part-own, or rent their accommodation
