Extra Care
The extra care sector is evolving rapidly, influenced by an aging population, advancements in healthcare technologies, and increasing demand for high-quality, sustainable living environments. From small care homes to large, state-of-the-art extra care facilities, SHA has decades of experience delivering efficient, compliant, and future-focused building services solutions for extra care providers.
With over 30 years of experience, we understand the unique challenges faced by extra care providers in meeting the evolving needs of residents, families, and regulators. We’ve identified several key forces shaping the extra care built environment today:
- Increased demand for sustainable, energy-efficient buildings
- A growing focus on indoor environmental quality (comfort, air quality, lighting)
- The need for smart, flexible M&E systems that support evolving use patterns
- Rising expectations for compliance, safety, and digital transparency
- Tight project budgets and accelerated delivery timeframes
- A greater emphasis on whole-life performance and asset value
