Sheltered housing

We can help provide sheltered homes specifically adapted for older people.

The properties are grouped together and are designed and managed with retired and elderly people in mind.

Sheltered housing creates a community which helps to promote friendship and a feeling of security.

The properties may be bungalows, ground or first floor flats or flats within a specifically adapted building with a lift.

Most of the dwellings have full central heating, one or two bedrooms, a kitchen and bathroom.

The minimum age for eligibility is 60 years and we encourage residents to maintain an independent life.

Each resident is a secure tenant with all the obligations and responsibilities of a tenancy.

All our schemes have a warden who live on-site or within a nearby scheme.

They contact each resident on a daily basis between Monday and Friday with round-the-clock emergency cover available via an alarm system linked to an emergency control centre.

Current housing association tenants may be eligible for sheltered housing according to their age and needs and require an assessment as part of any application.

We maintain a waiting list of people and allocate homes when suitable properties become available.
