Retirement Schemes

Retirement Schemes (also known as Sheltered Housing) allows people over 55 (customers aged 50 years and over, will be considered if certain support needs are identified) to live independently with the added security of having someone to call on in emergencies.  Support saff visit the scheme to check on the wellbeing of residents, liaising with their family and doctors where appropriate.

Residents rent their own private accommodation and benefit from communal facilities such as lounges and laundry facilities.

  • Give advice about security, heating and safety
  • Assess residents support needs and ensure the agreed plans are in place 
  • Liaise with health professionals, family or nominated contacts
  • Promote social activities
