Older People

Older people (over 55 years of age) can be accommodated in a range of housing types and tenures depending on requirements.

Sheltered and Very Sheltered Housing

Sheltered and Very Sheltered Housing is available on a rented basis only and housing support service charges levied by local councils are linked to the accommodation.

Sheltered Housing provide accommodation with a housing support service in Resident and Visiting Manager schemes, and are covered by a community alarm when staff are not on duty. Most schemes offer facilities such as a laundry room, communal lounge and guest rooms
Very Sheltered Housing provides similar accommodation to Sheltered Housing with communal facilities, but there are enhanced facilities. Tenants have access to daily meal provision and staff are on duty 24 hours each day providing housing support and care services

Amenity Housing

Amenity housing is specifically built for older people and is reflected in the design and location of the properties. Depending on need tenants can be linked to the community alarm system for additional peace of mind. Some amenity housing properties are offered on a rented basis and some on shared ownership tenure.

Shared Ownership

Shared ownership is where the occupier elects to purchase a 25%, 50% or 75% share in the property and rent the remainder from the Association.
