Sheltered Housing

Privacy and Independence

• By moving into sheltered accommodation you will become a council tenant with your own self contained accommodation.   
• You will have your own front door and you and your visitors can come and go as you please.

Support

• Sheltered scheme managers providing on site support during office hours. This includes daily checks to make sure that you are well, assisting you with day to day issues such as reporting repairs.  They may also help with accessing other services such as social services or health services if you need them.

Help in Emergencies

• Emergency alarms systems are provided so if you become ill, have a fall or want to report an emergency repair you can call for help anytime of the day of night. Calls will go through to the Scheme Manager when they are on site, otherwise calls go through to Forestcare, our emergency call provider

Company and Activities

• When you move into sheltered housing you can choose how involved you become with community activities. This could range from chatting to your neighbours, participating in, or even helping to arrange social activities. If this isn’t for you we will respect your right not to become involved.
