Sheltered Housing

Covid-19 advice for Independent Living customers - Sheltered and Extra Care schemes

We're working to ensure your homes are as safe as possible during the on-going coronavirus pandemic.

We understand that many of you will be feeling anxious and concerned during this uncertain time and we want to reassure you that we are here to support you.

The latest Government legislation and guidance means that we will need to continue to do things differently for our Independent Living customers. This means that the changes you have recently seen implemented will need to remain in place for the foreseeable future until the government changes the current arrangements.

COVID Advice

What is it?

Our Independent living schemes offer you an accessible and affordable home that can also give you peace of mind that support is available when you need it.

Most independent living schemes benefit from both indoor and outdoor communal areas such as lounges, gardens and grounds for you to share with others and spend time in throughout the year. With services like monitored door entry systems and independent living officers on hand at designated times through the week to assist you, we can help you to live well and maintain your independence, within a community that has lots to offer.

We offer both Sheltered and Extra Care housing.

Affordable homes

We provide and maintain affordable housing for people with a range of needs.

As well as your rent, our customers pay a service charge each month that helps to maintain the services provided within our schemes. This charge includes grounds maintenance, cleaning and the upkeep of social communal areas both inside and outside around the schemes. It also allows us to provide you with the ongoing support of an independent living officer.

Our team of dedicated independent living officers carry out visits to each scheme every week.
