RADIS Community Care has recently become the new care provider at Diamond Court's extra care service.

Housing 21 is a provider of extra care and retirement living, allowing residents to live independently, but also receive at-home care when needed. 

Radis will now be providing a tailored care service to the residents living there, ensuring their needs are met. 

Paula Hoggarth, group operations director at Radis, said: “Extra care is a brilliant support service for those who either need a little bit of extra help at home but don’t need full-time care, or for those who are preparing for the care they might need later on in life.

“Living in an extra care residence like Diamond Court means you have your own front door, and 24/7 support services are available to you on site, should you need them."

Paula added: “It’s great to be working with Housing 21 so that together we can ensure that the residents of Weston-super-Mare can live independently with choice and control over their care and support.

“We hand-pick our care teams and only select those who show a truly kind and caring nature, dedicated to helping people lead happy and independent lives with the right level of care or support.”

Radis will work with Diamond Court, Housing 21 and other partners to provide a shop, a hairdressers and a cafe to the area, giving people that much-needed sense of independence.

Alzheimer's Research UK estimates that one in three people born in the UK this year will develop dementia in their lifetime, and it is care services like these that people will rely on to help meet both their emotional and physical needs.
