Wilkie Gardens provides Extra Care housing with high quality accessible accommodation within a safe and secure setting designed to meet your changing needs after the age of 60 years.
We offer a holistic service with a high degree of flexibility in how care and support is delivered. It offers continuity, as care is delivered by our onsite staff. Our aim is to support you to live in your own home for as long as possible and remain part of the local community.
