Sheltered housing
We manage 14 sheltered housing schemes across the city, enabling people to live as independently as possible in a safe community setting.
Quick links
Sheltered housing accommodation is available to council tenants, non-council tenants and housing association tenants.
All homes are fitted with a 24-7 emergency alarm system. Sheltered housing officers who work across all the units can offer a needs assessment and can offer a daily check facility if necessary.
