With another impressive contract win, leading care provider Radis Community Care has taken over the care at Essex-based extra care service, The Cannons.
Built in 1984, the service is made up of 38 one and two bedroom apartments, all of which have walk-in showers and kitchenettes.
Located within stunning grounds, the extra care housing service offers independent living with personalised support.
Also offering emergency response, security and peace of mind to all residents, the additional benefit of flexible on-site care from Radis’ expert care team allows for a calm and relaxing environment.
The Cannons and Radis Community Care will be providing more than 600 hours of quality, flexible care each week.
A Colchester City Council extra care sheltered scheme, The Cannons is part of the council’s commitment to providing high-quality housing and care services for its residents.
Colchester Borough Homes works closely with care providers like Radis Community Care to ensure that residents receive the support they need to live independently in their own homes.
The Cannons provides residents with a communal dining area and a range of amenities, including a lounge, laundry room, gardens and a hairdressing salon.
To reassure both residents and loved ones, the entire service is accessible by wheelchair, with local facilities and public transport also in close proximity.
Sarah Brown, service manager at The Cannons Extra Care Service said of this exciting news:
“We’re delighted to have won this care contract, adding another fantastic service to our care offerings. We are proud to be able to provide more care to those who need it in Essex.
“Our entire team is incredibly passionate about the services that we provide, and we can’t wait to care for even more people.”
Cllr Paul Smith, Colchester City Council Portfolio Holder for Housing, said:
“We’re thrilled to see The Cannons secure this important care contract with Radis Community Care. This partnership ensures continued high-quality support for residents at The Cannons, offering them peace of mind and the freedom to live independently.
“We look forward to working with Radis to ensure a smooth transition and continued excellent service for residents.”
The Cannons joins Radis’ existing Essex-based services, Honey Tree Court, Freemans Court and Helen Court.
