Sheltered housing

We provide sheltered housing for people aged over 55 years of age. We support residents to live independently and comfortably in their own home for as long as possible with peace of mind knowing that support is available when needed.

We have over 1000 homes across the West of England with the majority located in Bristol. The majority of our sheltered housing properties are provided for rent at social rent levels. We also have a much smaller number of properties available for shared ownership.

Why choose sheltered housing?

Independence

Self-contained flat consisting of a kitchen, lounge, bathroom and bedroom/s, a studio flat or bungalow

Communal facilities

A wide range of communal facilities including on-site laundry, a communal lounge and kitchen, gardens and a guest room for visitors (where applicable)

Low maintenance

We are responsible for management of the building where you live and undertaking the majority of repairs

Advice & Assistance

Helping you access welfare support and help to review your finances and helping you access relevant agencies and services about additional support or care needs

Peace of mind

Access to Alertacall – a digital device installed in each of our sheltered housing properties to promote two way engagement. You can report any concerns like repairs through it and we can use it to remind you of any appointments
