Independent senior living

Skip to contents of guide

Our specially adapted homes are comfortable and easy to manage, to help you keep your independence. Each is fitted with Careline emergency call system for fast access to help at any time of day or night.

Support to suit your needs

We have several types of home available:

  • category 1 homes just have Careline emergency call system
  • category 2 homes have Careline system and a housing officer who visits on weekdays
  • extra care schemes offer more support for frail elderly people and dementia sufferers, with fully trained care staff onsite and a central restaurant

The level of support you get is reviewed annually or if your needs change.

This means you’ll be offered any extra help you may need after an illness or a stay in hospital.

Independent senior living homes offer shared facilities such as a lounge, garden and laundry. There are also organised activities to give you a chance to meet your neighbours.

How to apply

If you feel independent senior living would be right for you or a relative, you need to join the housing register to apply.

If you’re already one of our tenants but your needs have changed, you may be able to downsize your home.
