Extra Care Housing

We believe that everyone deserves a happy retirement, without stress, and time with friends around them to enjoy the pleasures of life. Grŵp Cynefin has four Extra Care Schemes, Penucheldre in Holyhead, Llys Awelon in Ruthin, Awel y Coleg in Bala and Hafod y Gest in Porthmadog. We are also developing another scheme in Denbigh, Awel y Dyffryn, which is due to open in 2020.

What does an extra care scheme have to offer?

A sense of community with various recreational facilities
Flexible care and support service for each individual

Independence - Community - Support
Independent Living
Our homes are modern, comfortable and safe. They are also designed so that they would continue to be suitable even if your care needs change in the future. We combine style with practical considerations to ensure that you can live a full life without worrying about day to day obstacles.
