We have a long track record of providing homes for
older people. We focus on creating living environments that give
you greater independence with support when you need it.
If you're over 55 and looking for a new home with a
little bit of support then one of our sheltered housing
developments might be just what you need. You'll still have your
own place, with the high-quality accommodation and privacy you
expect but in a secure environment.
You'll get a self-contained apartment with a
lounge, kitchen, bedroom and private bathroom. And you don't have
to worry about maintenance. If building or repair work needs to be
done, we take care of it, giving you the freedom to simply enjoy
your living space.
All our sheltered developments have a dedicated
support officer who you can call on for help. This, coupled with a
24-hour back up service provided by our contact centre, means that
support is available at any time, day or night.
And, because our sheltered developments are
situated in the heart of communities, you can still be close to
friends and family. We'll even help you get the best of the local
services available such as healthcare, leisure and social
activities.
Applying for a home
You can apply for sheltered housing if you are over
55, or if you are under 55 and have a disability. If you are part
of a couple and one of you meets our criteria, you are also welcome
