ExtraCare

ExtraCare creates vibrant communities for older people, complete with subsidised access to care, dementia and wellbeing services. Your support ensures dignified, independent living and a better life for thousands of older people.

The UK’s ageing population is growing rapidly, with an increasing number of individuals requiring specialised care for conditions like dementia and end-of-life support. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the UK population aged 65+ is projected to increase from 11M (2021) to 13M+ by 2031, becoming 22% of the total UK population.

Many older adults face isolation, declining health, and financial insecurity, leading to a decreased quality of life; more than a million older people in England say they go for over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour, or family member (Age UK). Public services are stretched, leaving gaps in access to adequate care, particularly for those with limited resources. This creates a pressing need for sustainable, affordable, and compassionate care solutions.

ExtraCare’s unique model addresses these challenges, offering a lifeline to older people in need of support, companionship, and accessible health and wellbeing services. For over 30 years, the ExtraCare Charitable Trust has been at the forefront of providing innovative and compassionate support for older people in the UK. Our integrated retirement communities offer more than just a place to live—they provide a supportive, vibrant environment where residents can thrive. Through partnerships with renowned institutions like Aston University, we have consistently demonstrated our impact and remain dedicated to setting new standards in dementia care, wellbeing, and end-oflife support. Our commitment to research backed solutions and best practices in care makes ExtraCare a trusted name in the sector, earning the respect of residents, families, and the broader community.
