Shenley Wood Retirement Village Milton Keynes

About ExtraCare retirement villages

ExtraCare retirement villages are not just about providing new places to live.

The ExtraCare Charitable Trust is committed to developing inspirational villages for the over 55s, as an alternative to the traditional care home. We enable older people to enjoy healthy, active, and independent lifestyles in their later years.

ExtraCare retirement villages are not just about providing new places to live. They’re about giving their residents a new lease of life. We believe that health, age or financial means should be no barrier to an enhanced quality of life.

If you need care and support it can be assessed and provided in the comfort and privacy of your own Village home. This means that couples can remain together if one partner becomes frail.

We foster an environment of supported independence where residents can take advantage of the social and leisure opportunities provided by the Trust.

Our communities are diverse and fun. Residents can enjoy exciting activities and engage with family, friends and volunteers representing all generations.

Village homes are built and equipped to the highest specifications and with good sized rooms. All homes are protected by a number of safety features, including the Village’s closed circuit security cameras. An emergency pull cord in every room connects you 24 hours a day to staff on site who can respond in a serious emergency.
