Sheltered Housing

Sheltered Housing

Sheltered housing is ideal for elderly people who can manage their own home, but who may need a little help to stay independent.

A sheltered housing scheme usually consists of 25 - 35 individual flats. Most flats in sheltered housing schemes have:

• Their own bedroom, lounge area, kitchen and bathroom

• Central heating

• An electric cooker (in some flats)

• A shared lounge and laundry room

• A 24 hour warden and alarm service
