What is Sheltered Housing?
Sheltered housing provides older residents with the support they need to live independently.
Sheltered housing schemes are unfurnished, self-contained apartments in one building or area.
The aim is to offer safe, comfortable, and convenient accommodation while promoting independence.
Who is Sheltered Housing for?
Sheltered housing is for people aged 55 and over or adults with disabilities. There is no upper age limit, although residents may need ongoing support from family, friends, or external agencies to continue living independently.
Is Sheltered Housing right for me?
Sheltered housing can be a great option but it’s important to check that it is the right option for you or your loved one.
Some key benefits of sheltered housing are:
-
Independence and privacy in your own home
-
High-quality, manageable accommodation with added security
-
A community of similarly aged residents, with the freedom to engage socially as much or as little as you choose
-
Peace of mind knowing help is available in an emergency.
What are Sheltered Housing homes like?
Each scheme varies slightly, but all typically consist of unfurnished, self-contained flats. You’ll have your own front door, allowing you to come and go freely and welcome visitors. The main entrance is secured with a door entry system, which residents can operate from their flats.
All properties include:
-
Central heating
-
Emergency alarm systems
-
Smoke detectors, with fire safety guidance provided upon moving in.
Is there support available?
Each scheme has a dedicated Scheme Manager responsible for:
-
Resident safety and wellbeing
-
Responding to emergencies
-
Supporting communal activities
-
Work with you to create a support plan with key contact details (e.g. next of kin, GP, care agencies) to ensure you receive appropriate support.
-
Ensuring the building and its facilities are well-maintained.
Please note: Scheme Managers do not provide personal care. They are not responsible for tasks such as shopping, cleaning, cooking, collecting prescriptions, or administering medication.
