Archived: Manorcourt Homecare (Sumners Farm Close)

•Manorcourt Homecare (Sumners Farm Close) provides care and support to people living in specialist ‘extra care’ housing.

•Manorcourt Homecare (Sumners Farm Close) provides personal care support and practical assistance to older people who live in self-contained flats owned by the Council. Some people who use the service are independent and require little or no support from the service. This type of support is called "Well Being."

•Extra care housing is purpose-built or adapted single household accommodation in a shared building. The accommodation is rented, and is the occupant's own home. People's care and housing are provided under separate contractual agreements. CQC does not regulate premises used for extra care housing; this inspection looked at people's personal care and support service.
