Chimney Court - A2Dominion Extra Care Scheme

Chimney Court is an extra care sheltered scheme based in Tilehurst, Reading.

It offers a selection of self-contained one and two bedroom flats designed to help residents retain as much independence and control of their lives as possible.

Residents can continue to enjoy their social pursuits in a safe and secure environment, giving peace of mind to themselves and their families.

Our extra care schemes are designed to provide a real alternative to residential care for frail and vulnerable older persons. Our care and support packages offer flexibility for those who are finding their homecare services provision no longer practical nor economical.
