Extra Care
Helping people remain independent in their own homes by providing care and support designed to meet their needs.
Our Offer
Our teams of dedicated care workers provide an individualised, friendly, 24-hour personal care service to older people living in Oldham’s six Housing 21 Extra Care schemes.
Through our care, people are supported to gain confidence and improve their health and wellbeing, preventing admissions into long-term residential care or hospital. The six schemes in which we are based are Aster House (Oldham), Charles Morris House (Failsworth), Hopwood Court (Shaw), Old Mill House (Grotton), Tandle View Court (Royton) and Trinity House (Coldhurst). Our service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission and was last rated as ‘Good’ in all areas.
Our support
MioCare Group – supporting people to get the most out of life
Extra Care residents benefitting from our service include people with a recognised disability or health condition, older people living at home who need support with daily household activities in order to remain independent (including support with personal care, administration of medication, domestic tasks and meal preparation) and people being discharged from hospital who need support to regain their independence.

Meet Alan!
Alan has been a resident of Aster House for about three years, and has received care from our team there since he moved in. He was keen to be involved in the recruitment of new carers, expressing an interest in his response to a resident feedback survey.
“The care I’ve received at Aster House has always been very good. In fact, only the other day when talking with visitors to Aster, I was describing the team there as ‘treasures and angels’, and I really mean it!”

Our delivery of care, Extra Care residents give their view
In July 2023, we undertook our biannual residents’ survey across all six Extra Care schemes. Before we tell you little more about it, let us give you a quick lowdown of our service…
Extra Care housing is designed with the needs of older people in mind. Residents living in the six aforementioned schemes have their own self-contained homes and access to on-site personal care, delivered by MioCare staff.

What our community is saying
“I’ve lived here three years and didn’t have care from the MioCare Group at first, but have had care from them for the last year or so. They do a wonderful job and I can’t fault them. The team are dedicated, they find time to talk to you, and they treat you as a person. Without the MioCare team at Trinity House I wouldn’t be where I am now.”

“I’ve just had a hip replacement, and the care I’ve received has really helped me in my recovery. The team has gone above and beyond and have been so supportive as my personal care needs change. I was nervous about having a bath with some assistance, but I needn’t have been. They put me at ease and made sure I was comfortable. It’s like a family, and I’m so grateful for them and everyone at Charles Morris House…I won’t be going anywhere!”
