Sheltered housing is specifically for older people (over 55) and offers a shared and secure environment in which to live independently. Whilst personal care is not directly delivered from within the scheme, care services can be brought in to maintain a level of independence. Sheltered housing refers to groups of bungalows or apartments, with their own kitchen, bathroom and front door with housing related support provided on site.
The facilities will vary between schemes which may include lounges, laundry, communal kitchen and gardens and the level of support provided will vary dependant on resident's needs.
Please note: Some schemes may have a guest room and communal bathing facilities, in addition to the tenants own self-contained apartment.
We have several sheltered housing schemes across the city. These include:
- Queen Elizabeth II Court, Fenton
- Wooldridge Court, Smallthorne
- Rialto Court, Fenton
- Chatterley Court, Chell (this will be ready at the end of 2024).
