Housing group Torus has welcomed residents to its latest extra care scheme in Longbarn, Harpers Green. The development, on Harpers Road, has transformed the site of the former Bayleaf restaurant and provides people aged 55 and over with secure, modern and affordable one and two-bedroom apartments for rent or shared ownership. Torus says a huge benefit of extra care complexes is that residents retain their independence but have the peace of mind that flexible on-site care is available if and when needed. Care at Harpers Green has been funded and commissioned by Warrington Borough Council and will be provided by national charity and Warrington-based Making Space.
