The Trust is also building a high quality 38 bed extra care
scheme which will be ready in early 2011. Newhaven is located
in a prime location only a short distance from Timperley Village.
The scheme will provide excellent services for over 55s including
restaurants, hairdressers, shop and a small gym.
Emergency Alarm System: Each home has an
emergency alarm, known as a community alarm system, which can be
activated at the touch of a button, usually by a pullcord
or pendant. Emergency alarms are linked to a control centre
where a team of fully trained operatives will respond to any calls,
24 hours a day, 365 days a year and arrange a visit from a support
officer if necessary.
Sheltered Schemes: We also run 21 Sheltered
Schemes which provide more independent living than at a nursing
home or residential home, with individuals having their own
kitchen, bathroom and front door. Each home is fitted with an
emergency call system (dispersed alarm) and residents
recieve visits from a dedicated Scheme Manager.

community alarm service and Telecare to non THT residents and our
own tenents who live in non older people designated
