'Top-out' for Elkin Court

Elkin Court, a new extra care scheme being built in Partington, Trafford, has been officially 'topped-out'.

Developed in partnership between Housing 21, and Trafford Council with a £2.2 million social housing grant from the Housing Corporation, Elkin Court is located on a 1.23 acre site that was formerly occupied by a local authority residential care home. It will provide a total of 40 high quality one and two bedroom apartments for older people. Around the clock care will be provided at the scheme to meet residents’ changing needs over time, offering local older people the chance to remain independent for longer.

Named after a much respected local GP, Elkin Court will also provide a day centre, restaurant, guest room, shop and a hairdressing salon.

Dianne Darling, new business manager of Housing 21 said:

"The facilities provided will also be provided to the general public creating a valuable facility not just for the people living here, but also for the local community".

Elkin Court is due for completion in early Spring 2008.
