Sheltered housing
Sheltered housing and its purpose
The aim of our sheltered housing schemes is to:
- promote independent living
- provide a safe, secure environment
- provde an environment which promotes inclusion for all
It's also an environment which provides the offer of guidance and support via one of our sheltered housing officers where necessary.
The most important thing to understand is that sheltered housing is not a care home – it's all about having your own property, and having the power to be as independent as possible.
What do we offer?
We offer 22 sheltered housing schemes across the borough, which includes two extra care schemes that offer a variety of easy to manage properties for older people.
Our common features include:
- your own home
- access to a sheltered housing officer for advice and tenancy related support
- 24 hour emergency alarm and response service connected to every property and communal areas
- secure door entry system connected to every internal property
- shared communal areas including:
- common rooms
- activity rooms
- kitchens
- laundry
- garden areas
Features and activities within our sheltered housing schemes can and do vary slightly from scheme to scheme.
What is extra care sheltered housing?
We have two extra care sheltered schemes, Colwell Court and Abigail Court.
These schemes are typically provided for people with more complex support needs and have the added support of carers operating onsite 24 hours a day, although these carers will not serve all tenants.
The facilities onsite at our extra care schemes remain the same as all other sheltered housing schemes.
The process of application for an extra care sheltered housing property is slightly different from an application for a general sheltered housing property.
