Shenley Wood Village

Milton Keynes, The ExtraCare Charitable Trust

Description of Scheme

Shenley Wood has been developed through a partnership between The ExtraCare Charitable Trust, Milton Keynes Council, Milton Keynes Partnership, Department of Health, and the Homes and Communities Agency.

Set in approximately 10 acres, the Village will ultimately comprise 300 apartments and a host of facilities designed to encourage independence and an active lifestyle in later life. The first phase of 184 apartments will open in Spring 2012.

The focus is on being independent for as long as possible, with opportunities to 'stay active and stay young' in a safe community of like-minded friends and neighbours.

Residents Information

"I wasn't sure I could afford to move into the village. Thanks to the expert advice provided byExtraCare staff I'm better off and Village life is well within my grasp. It's a dream come true".

"We are getting older all the time. We've got each other - aren't we lucky? But the years were ticking by and one day we may not have each other, so we made the decision to move."
