A total of 122 new homes for the over 55s will open in Huyton next month, according to the Knowsley Housing Trust (KHT).

The new homes at the Extra Care development in Bluebell Park in Huyton will be soon be complete, providing facilities for the over 55s in the region. While 101 homes have been taken by residents, there is availability in some of the 21 new homes offered under shared ownership, which allows buyers to purchase between 25% and 75% of the home.

The homes comprise one and two-bedroom apartments and include wheelchair accessibility and wet room facilities as an option. Communal facilities that are part of an Extra Care option include a restaurant, lounge areas, a hairdresser, activity rooms and landscaped outdoor spaces.

Ian Thomson, executive director at KHT, says: “There’s an increasing need for the development of more lifetime homes – especially as the Leonard Cheshire report highlights lack of investment into building disabled friendly properties this year.

“KHT understands that people’s living circumstances can change suddenly and this is hard to plan for when looking for a new home. Properties at Bluebell Park allow older people – with or without a current care need – to live independently in a relaxed, comfortable environment that can be adapted around their changing requirements.”
