The Shires

is a purpose-built community for retirement living in Moseley. The 72 luxury apartments are set within beautiful communal gardens where you can enjoy independent living with care and support as and when needed.

The approach to 'sheltered' and retirement housing has evolved in recent years to cater for older people as they become frailer and less active, people who would otherwise need to be relocated into registered care homes. The Michael Blanning Trust Housing Association Ltd supports this form of housing requirement and now provides their first purpose-built Class C2 'Extra Care' residential scheme for people over 55 years of age to address local needs at their development

The development provides specially designed self-contained accommodation where mature persons over 58 years of age can live in a friendly and sympathetic environment, whilst retaining their own independence.

Sometimes there’s nothing better than a cup of tea and a good catch up.

The scheme is situated in an area steeped in the history of Tolkien, J R R Tolkien himself lived close by. It borders the “Dell” and Moseley Bog” from Lord of the Rings and Sarehole Mill or “The Mill” from the Hobbit is close by.

The development would provide specialist retirement accommodation in an established residential area presently containing predominantly family accommodation.

The ‘Extra Care’ scheme is seen as an opportunity to increase the mix of housing and allow people to ‘downsize’ but remain close to their previous homes and/or families. ‘Extra Care’ Housing is designed with the needs of frailer older people in mind and with varying levels of care and support available on site. Residents in Extra Care schemes have their own self-contained homes and a legal right to occupy the property.

Extra Care schemes offer a distinctive lifestyle and improved way of life:

Independent living in self-contained apartments with their own front doors;
Freedom of lifestyle within a secure community environment;
Property management for buildings, communal areas and gardens;
Activity-based projects where residents can, if they so choose, participate and play an active role within the community;
Extensive communal facilities;
Restaurant service or meals served in residents’ own apartment if necessary;
Care and support in residents’ own homes, as and when they are needed.
