Sheltered Housing
Sheltered housing is a type of residential care that allows people to live independently in the community but with significant support.
Sheltered housing schemes usually consist of self-contained, purpose-built flats, houses or bungalows with their own front doors, kitchens and bathrooms.
The facilities available vary depending on the individual scheme, but some have restaurants and guest rooms for family and friends. Many have communal areas such as a laundry room, lounge and gardens, and provide residents with opportunities for socialising with each other and the wider community.
