Sheltered Housing

Sheltered housing is for older people who want to move out of their family home into something smaller and more manageable. Although they want to stay independent, they also appreciate the security of living in a scheme where there is regular contact with a sheltered housing officer to help with support needs and on-call services providing 24-hour cover.

The schemes are generally one-bed bungalows and flats, often with shared rooms for activities and social events.
