intergenerational extra-care units
Islington Council is moving forward with plans for 60 new intergenerational extra-care units at Holloway Park.
Islington Council is proceeding with plans to build 60 new intergenerational extra-care units at Holloway Park, with approximately 60% of these units allocated to residents over the age of 55. This decision was confirmed by the Health, Wellbeing and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee in April 2026. Councillor Sara Hyde, Executive Member for Health and Social Care, noted the units would help residents stay near family.
The committee welcomed the ongoing focus on enabling residents to maintain their independence and reducing the need for admissions into care homes. Intergenerational extra-care units are designed to accommodate both younger and older generations, providing support for elderly residents while fostering community interaction.
