Graham Reardon Court Extra Care Facility
“Reardon Court sets a new standard for independent living in later years.”
Regional Director at GRAHAM
GRAHAM has completed work on the Reardon Court extra care housing scheme in Enfield, London.
Procured via the Procure Partnerships Framework
Reardon Court, which was awarded through the Procure Partnerships Framework, is poised to redefine independent living for residents aged 55 and older who may require extra care and support.
This project redefines extra care facilities
At the heart of Reardon Court is a vibrant communal space, fostering social interaction and community engagement. Residents have access to 24-hour onsite care, ensuring peace of mind and comprehensive support whenever needed. The central courtyard is a haven for sensory experiences, complemented by walking routes and allotments that promote an active lifestyle and connection to nature.
Reardon Court stands as a testament to collaboration and innovation, representing a council-led initiative aimed at providing a supportive and nurturing environment for older people seeking to maintain their independence with access to essential care services.
“Reardon Court will provide independence, safety, and comfort for residents for years to come. This project underscores the importance of meeting the evolving needs of an ageing population who require extra support and care. With its thoughtful design, comprehensive care services, and commitment to fostering a sense of community, Reardon Court sets a new standard for independent living in later years.”

Close collaboration between contractor and consultant
Leading multi-disciplinary consultancy Pick Everard has collaborated closely with GRAHAM and Enfield Council on the scheme, delivering architecture, landscape architecture, project management, contract administration, clerk, technical advisory, M&E, sustainability and energy, and civil and structural engineering services. As well as maximising housing opportunities, the scheme has also incorporated a green design philosophy, with more than 100 solar photovoltaic panels installed on the roof, alongside sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) to help with rainwater management. Social value was a key part of the project, with careers talks held at nearby schools and material suppliers chosen in the local area.
“This has been a rewarding project, focusing on a specialist area of residential living that draws on our vast experience in delivering affordable and high-quality care environments. The different elements of the scheme come together to create a mini community within Enfield where residents can enjoy a varied offering of active social and wellbeing opportunities, aided by an inclusive and disability conscious design.
Each flat benefits from an outward facing balcony, with those on the ground floor having access to a garden space to really enhance a sense of independence that is present throughout the scheme. We now look forward to seeing residents and staff make use of this fantastic new space, which will positively impact generations to come.”
