Housing for older people
We provide a range of housing for older people. This section explains what we can offer if you need to move in later life.
To assist, we have broken down the available information into a series of frequently asked questions.
Further information
You can contact us by telephone or letter or register with Barnet Homeseekers by telephoning 020 8359 4797. They will send you a form and other information if you ask for it. Fill it in, send it back and make sure you tick the box which says you are interested in sheltered housing. If you have a disability or other medical problem, ask for a medical assessment as well.
You can write to us separately to apply for sheltered housing to:
