PrintOur purpose built sheltered schemes provide high quality one or two bedroomed flats, with level access and a high level of security. All accommodation is linked by a community alarm service to our 24 hour, seven days a week, Out of Hours response team.
The accommodation is for rent under an Assured Tenancy. Housing related support is provided by a scheme based manager, funded through the Supporting People grant. Individually-tailored support offered includes assistance with income maximisation and claiming welfare benefits, accessing statutory and voluntary services such as healthcare, homecare and befriending services, and encouragement to maintain life skills and to remain as independent as possible, enjoying life as an active member of the community.
Services such as gardening, cleaning of communal areas, repairs, maintenance and a handyperson are provided. All schemes have a residents communal lounge, a guest room and laundry. In some schemes, luncheon clubs are provided and we aim to foster links with the wider community of older people through such clubs and other social and recreational activities.
Referrals to our sheltered housing come from the local authorities in which we operate, as well as a number of approved, voluntary agencies, such as Age Concern. Those nominated should be over 60 years of age.
