Show more "A housing scheme for older people boasting an atrium and listing a beauty salon among its attractions is certainly not the usual set-up. But the Cefn Glas extra care housing project in south Wales, which has won an award for its design, has these features and others which make it worth a closer look.It is an indoor village with 42 self-contained flats clustered around a central covered area or atrium, which is designed to create a neighbourhood effect. Most of the 46 residents have 24-hour specialist care and alarms as you would expect in an extra care arrangement, although 14 of the flats have sheltered status.
Cefn Glas also has a day centre for elderly people from the community, run by the local authority. It gives residents the opportunity to mix with people from outside the project." Show less
