What types of accommodation does the council offer?
Answer
There are a number of housing options that older people might like to consider if they feel their homes are unsuitable due to disability, welfare or medical reasons.
Sheltered Housing
Specially designed self- contained flats for older people usually with communal areas or gardens. Residents have the reassurance of help through the simple to use alarm system and access to other support services.
Alarm Assisted Housing
Generally these properties are in quieter areas and the whole block may be reserved for older people or just the ground floor. These are either studio or one-bedroom flats that are linked to the alarm service 24 hours a day.
Extra Care Housing
This a new way of supporting you to live independently for as long as you can. It gives you the security and privacy of a flat of your own, a range of facilities on the premises, with 24 hour care and support services on hand. For more information please visit: Information on Extra Care Housing.
