Sheltered housing offers the privacy of your own front door so you can come and go as you please, with the added security of an alarm service and a Sheltered Housing Officer for help and support. Sheltered housing also offers the choice of sharing a wider social life through a range of social events and the use of communal facilities.
The flats are designed for either one or two people. They are often set in attractive gardens close to shops and local amenities. All flats feature an alarm service and have a sheltered housing officer for support and assistance. Other personal safety features may include smoke alarms, a door entry system and CCTV. Doors are wide enough to accommodate a walking frame and some flats have been specially adapted for wheelchair access or mobility problems.
Residents move in to this type of housing for a number of reasons, for example, people may wish to move from a larger family home to smaller properties that are easier to maintain but still offer a high level of independence. Sheltered housing offers residents the chance to live in a community environment with facilities that suit their needs, near local amenities but still retain their own front door and privacy.
In order to help residents settle in and to maintain independence, the sheltered housing officer will discuss with new residents their personal needs within a 'support plan'. This confidential agreement will be regularly updated as circumstances change.
We encourage responsible pet ownership and will include details as part of your individual Support Plan identifying alternative care arrangements for your pet should the need arise.
