Development opportunities for Extra Care in Lancashire
Extra Care housing and supported living help people stay independent in their own homes for longer. This can prevent, reduce, or delay the need for more intensive support, such as residential care.
We want to improve services for older people across Lancashire. A key part of this is increasing the number of Extra Care housing schemes.
How we support new Extra Care developments
To help deliver more Extra Care housing, the Council may:
Use land owned by the county council or district councils
Work with developers to deliver new Extra Care schemes
Support private and mixed‑tenure developments, working with district housing authorities
Encourage registered providers (housing associations) and private developers to put forward site proposals
Remodel older sheltered housing schemes
Develop schemes with the NHS as part of its estates management programme
