Sheltered Housing
Living in sheltered housing means having your own flat, complete with own kitchen and bathroom - but with added benefits.
Residents can choose to stay in their flats when they want or can spend time in one of the communal lounges.
Other CBHA residents might mistakenly think the two CBHA schemes were ‘old peoples’ homes’ - and have a certain amount of fear about ever living there - but this was not the case.
The schemes, which are open to those aged 60 and over, enable people to live completely independently but with added support available.
When an older person is not in a scheme, they might not see many people in a day. But at a sheltered scheme, they have the option of having social time with other residents and enjoying coffee mornings and other activities.
