A second Information Day is being held for residents to find out more about Plas yr Ywen, Holywell’s new extra care scheme which opens early next year. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Applications are still open for anyone interested in moving into the new facility and further information will be available at St Peter’s Church, on Rosehill, Holywell, on Tuesday 1 October 2019 from 10am-6pm. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The £8.5m extra care scheme is being provided by Wales & West Housing in partnership with Flintshire Council and representatives from both organisations will be present on the day. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Potential residents will be able to view plans and ask questions about living costs, care and support options or any other aspects of the scheme. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The event is free to attend and will run on a drop-in basis, with refreshments available throughout the day. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Robin Jones, Extra Care Manager for Plas yr Ywen, said: “Potential residents will be able to speak to our team to find out more about living in extra care and register their interest in applying. The drop-in session will be relaxed and informal and everyone is welcome to attend.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Flintshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Social Services, Councillor Christine Jones, said: “This facility will provide high quality home-based care services. Responding to the demand for care and support arrangements, this new scheme will be a real flagship for Holywell and for Flintshire, providing self-contained apartments, including apartments that are specially designed for people with dementia.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Situated on Halkyn Road, Plas yr Ywen will offer 55 apartments for people aged 50 and over with 24-hour access to on-site care and support. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

It is being built by construction partners Anwyl Construction on the site of the former Ysgol Perth y Terfyn, with the first residents set to move in from Spring 2020. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
