Anyone aged 55 or over and able to live fairly independently can apply for sheltered housing in Wandsworth. However, if you need a bit more care and support, extra care housing may be the answer. Extra care housing is similar to sheltered housing but with flexible, individually tailored packages of care and support provided on site 24 hours a day. To qualify for extra care housing in Wandsworth, you must be eligible for help from Adult Social Services. Chestnut House, Wandsworth's first purpose-built extra care housing scheme, is being built by Richmond Upon Thames Churches Housing Trust at Arabella Drive, SW15 and is due to open in July 2008. All of the 34 one bedroom and 7 two bedroom flats will be wheelchair accessible with fully fitted kitchens (cooker, fridge / freezer, washing machine and microwave included) and walk-in showers. A guest room will be available for visiting family and friends. You can view an online tour of one the flats or download a brochure (pdf 1.3 mb). If you are 55 or over, live in Wandsworth and might be interested in renting one of the flats (either for yourself or for you and a partner/carer), register your interest now by contacting the Special Needs Lettings section:
