Sheltered housing

Sheltered housing gives tenants an opportunity to live in a safe and friendly environment where they can keep their independence, but at the same time, receive help and advice when needed. The support service provided by the Council's Sheltered Scheme Co-ordinators helps our sheltered scheme residents have peace of mind and reassurance.

Not all sheltered housing schemes have the same facilities. Some have communal facilities on site, such as a lounge, laundry with drying room and a guest room. Others may have existing social clubs. You will be able to enjoy the benefits that these communal facilities can bring, while keeping your privacy whenever you want to.

For more information, please see our Guide to Sheltered Housing.

A review of our sheltered housing service was completed in June 2010. This was driven by the need to ensure that our service continues to meet the changing needs of older residents. The review process included extensive consultation with both existing and potential users of older people's housing.

The Sheltered Housing Review 2010 Report and a brief executive summary have been produced detailing both the proposed changes and how the review was carried out.
