Support at home
If your needs assessment finds you are eligible for care and support, support at home can help to keep you as independent as possible.
At home care is also known as home care or domiciliary care. Here you can find information on extra care schemes and home care providers.
Extra Care
If you’re over 55 and eligible for care and support, extra care is an affordable housing option that can provide 24-hour support to live independently in your own flat with your own front door.
A team of staff are on-site 24/7 and for peace of mind, you can ask them to help with things like washing, dressing, going to the toilet or taking medication.
Schemes often have communal spaces to socialise with other people who live there for examples community spaces, a bistro or café, beauty salons and laundry rooms.
There are currently 4 schemes across Tameside with Creative Support as onsite providers offering 24-hour support.
- Beatrix House in Dukinfield, SK16 5GZ
- Fairfield Court in Droylsden, M43 7WR
- Hurst Meadows in Ashton, OL6 8DW
- Melbourbe Court in Stalybridge, SK15 2BL
- Birch Lea Park in Hattersley, SK14 3JW
