Extra Care Housing has been developed for older people and others such as those with disabilities with care needs in order to encourage people to live independently for longer. As Extra care housing is based on self-contained accommodation therefore any application of assistive technology that could be useful in someone’s own home can be used in extra care. In addition extra care developments include a range of facilities and amenities that may be made safer, more useable or accessible by assistive technology. In public areas of buildings additional uses may be found or indeed be necessary such as CCTV, door openers, remote door entry system.
