The building will cater to people aged more than 55 years and provide a 24h on-site care facility.

Warwickshire County Councillor Les Caborn said: “Extra Care Housing is significantly different from traditional residential care, giving individuals and couples the option to live ‘at home’ rather than ‘in a home’.

“The schemes offer older people greater independence and control of their lives through purpose-built, self-contained apartments, each with its own front door. It is a very real alternative to living in a residential care home.

“Warwickshire County Council is committed to working with both its District and Town Council colleagues to provide the highest level of housing with care for its vulnerable citizens. The forthcoming accommodation here in Bishopton – a mix of 75 one and two-bedroomed apartments for rent or shared ownership– will be the first Housing 21 scheme of this type in the district suitable for older people aged 55 and over with varying levels of care needs.”
