01Proposed model
Retirement living
For older adults seeking community.
A community and life-stage choice for people aged 60+, centred on companionship, shared culture and belonging. Retirement living is not a clinical care level and does not mean every resident needs nursing care.
Planning condition: Participation and individual support needs require separate assessment.

Independent living
For people managing their own daily tasks.
This proposed model pairs accessible design with choices over meals, activities and personal routines. Any help would have assessed, clearly agreed boundaries; independent living is not an open-ended care commitment.
Planning condition: Design, suitability and the limits of assistance remain to be confirmed.

Assisted living
For people needing help with daily personal care.
Planned help with washing, dressing, mobility and everyday routines would be provided by trained care workers only under an individually assessed care plan. This is personal support, not hospital care or a promise to manage every medical need.
Planning condition: Subject to a qualified team and a safe, agreed scope of support.

Senior Day Care
For older adults who continue living at home.
A structured, non-residential model for social activities, meals, rest and daytime visits, with return home afterwards. It is proposed only: no operating day centre, transport service or caregiver staffing is being represented as available.
Planning condition: Suitability, visit arrangements and any travel logistics need assessment.
Ask about daytime visits↗05Specialist feasibility required
Memory Care
For people living with dementia and their families.
Specialised dementia care requires clinically led assessment, a trained workforce and family involvement. It needs a secure environment that respects rights, dignity and individual choice, not simply a general retirement unit; this is not a currently available service.
Planning condition: Specialist clinical feasibility and safeguarding must be established first.

Palliative & hospice pathway
For people with serious illness and their families.
Palliative care supports quality of life during serious illness and can accompany other treatment; hospice focuses on comfort and care near the end of life. They are not interchangeable, and this proposed pathway does not represent an operating standalone hospice, appointed specialist staff or confirmed licensing.
Planning condition: Clinical feasibility and appropriate referral arrangements must come first.
