Housing with Care
We provide over 3,811 specialist homes for people aged 55 and over in our sheltered and Housing with Care accommodation schemes across Merseyside, Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
Our range of homes offer different levels of support to suit your needs and requirements.
Sheltered housing
If you are thinking of moving home but would like something more secure and manageable with the company of others, sheltered housing could be the move for you!
Sheltered housing offers specialist self-contained accommodation for those who want to carry on living independently but with discreet support in place. It is usually a group of properties situated within one complex that offer a range of communal facilities.
We provide 63 sheltered housing schemes located all across the North West. As a minimum standard all of our sheltered housing schemes offer:
-
A Scheme Manager service.
-
24 Hour emergency alarm.
-
Communal lounge, kitchen, and laundry.
-
Easy access to local amenities
Unlike a residential or nursing home, sheltered housing is independent accommodation and privacy is respected at all times.
You are welcome to come and go to your flat as you please, and friends and family are welcome to visit anytime.
