Housing for Older People

 

What is sheltered housing?

 

Sheltered housing is not like an old people's home or a nursing home.

 

Tenants maintain the same responsibilities and independence there that they have always enjoyed.  Every sheltered scheme has an on-site Scheme Manager, who is on hand to assist with any needs you may have; but it is up to you whether you would like additional support.

 

The purpose of sheltered housing is to enable you to continue living as independently as possible.  Our aim is to support you without intruding, maintaining both freedom and privacy.
