PTEa has been designing successful housing for older people for many years, and our current practice and research seeks new responses to the opportunities and
challenges presented by Britain’s ageing population.

We provide homes across the full spectrum of needs experienced by older people. This ranges from fully self-contained apartments aimed at older purchasers or tenants, through sheltered housing and extra-care homes, to fully staffed residential homes. Frequently these form part of mixed developments, with general-needs housing for rent or sale helping to provide income and ensuring the presence of a mixed community.

We understand the diverse needs of older people, whether it is a matter of providing convenient and spacious apartments for wealthy downsizers or integrating active older people into the community or creating a secure garden for sufferers from dementia. As well as working on new developments, we have experience of bringing existing facilities up to contemporary standards.
