What is Sheltered Housing?

Sheltered or retirement housing is suitable for people who like independence but want assistance on hand in an emergency, but don’t need to move into a care home. There are different types of schemes available to rent and to buy. Some developments have a scheme manager/warden and the majority have a community alarm service.

Sheltered housing is available through the 5 district and borough councils and their housing association partners as follows:

What is Very Sheltered Housing?
