What is Sheltered Housing?
Sheltered Housing is self contained accommodation for people aged over 60 or who have a disability. It is designed for people who need the reassurance of knowing that emergency assistance is available 24 hours a day. It is ideal for those who want to live independently whilst knowing that help is on hand if needed.
All Sheltered Housing accommodation is served by a Supported Housing Officer responsible for the scheme. Each property is provided with an Emergency Alarm system which is connected to the Supported Housing Officer during duty hours or to the 24 hour Emergency Alarm Centre.
We have 32 Sheltered Housing schemes spread throughout the Kerrier district with homes available to rent. Each property has a bedroom, bathroom, lounge and a kitchen. Some have communal lounges, laundry facilities, lifts, disabled bathing facilities, guest rooms and door entry systems. All properties have smoke detectors, with fire alarm systems in the complexes.
