Flexi Care:

Flexi Care is specialist housing designed to meet the needs of older people, people with long-term conditions, and people with disabilities who may struggle to remain in their own home. Flexi Care describes a move away from more traditional models of ‘Extra Care’, which typically support older adults.

Care provided by a Flexi Care scheme enables residents to live in the least restrictive environment possible, ‘aging in place’ as a tenant in their own home.

Residents are supported by flexible care packages, and enjoy peace of mind through having care staff on site 24/7. Care within Flexi Care is person-centred, and ‘flexes’ with the changing needs of each resident.

 Thames Homecare is working on and delivering Southwark Council’s vision for Flexi Care. This is new model set out by Southwark Council and vision for its five Flexi Care schemes, revolving around community: Our Flexi Care schemes are flourishing communities of people from all walks of life, with different strengths, abilities, and needs.

Our schemes provide homes for life, where residents live well, safely and independently, with care and support that is flexible, creative, innovative, and person-centred. Our residents lead sociable and fulfilling lives, connected across generations and to the local community. Community, inclusivity, and fun, is at the heart of Flexi Care in Southwark.

This vision emphasises socially-orientated support, outward facing to the community.  envisions schemes are to have a ‘buzz’, where communal spaces are bustling, and residents enjoy spending time with their neighbours and out in the local area. Residents are made to feel part of something, with multiple connections they can draw upon for support and warmth. Residents are cared for as individuals: “doing with” residents, rather than “to”, is at the centre of this vision.
