Hughenden Gardens | Retirement Living | High Wycombe, HP13 5GA (2023)

At Hughenden Gardens, properties are available for sale, shared ownership or rent, and are thoughtfully designed to make life as comfortable and safe as possible, even if you have limited mobility.

ExtraCare aims to ensure that the Village is affordable for every applicant whatever their financial circumstances.

At ExtraCare we have unequalled experience in encouraging and supporting residents to keep their independence and get the most out of life.

Should you need care and support, our QCF (NVQ) qualified staff will assess your needs with you to ensure that your care is tailored to your requirements, and delivered within the comfort and privacy of your own home. This can range from a simple daily pop-in visit to regular help of a more personal nature now, or in the future.

Our Village staff team will of course respond in a serious emergency.

Pop into the Village shop, the hairdressing and beauty salon, or meet friends in the bistro. Tone up in the Fitness Suite, or visit the Library/IT Suite where you can read a book, surf the internet or send emails. There’s a Village Hall for dances and get-togethers, a greenhouse and hobby room.

All this, together with the reassurance of knowing that should you need care, either now or at any time in the future, it can be tailored to meet your assessed needs, and delivered in the comfort of your own Village home by a committed and highly professional team.
