Description of Scheme
The Assisi Place is a purpose built development of 45 apartments to rent, specially designed to make life comfortable for people in later life. Arranged on three levels with a lift and wheelchair access throughout, the two-bedroom apartments are all suitable for individuals or couples.
A dedicated team provides 'round-the- clock' support and flexible care tailored to individual needs. All residents receive a well-being service, offering advice and regular support. Social activities and events are also organised.
The on-site staff team enables residents to continue to live independently in their own home and maintain a good quality of life. Additional support is available with personal care, preparing meals, cleaning, laundry and dealing with emergencies. Having support on hand, whenever needed, gives all-important reassurance.
