Sheltered housing
Sheltered independent living
The homes we call ‘sheltered independent living’ are for people over 55 years in age, people referred to Brunelcare by Bristol City Council’s HomeChoice team.
These are homes that have been specially designed for people to maintain or regain their independence, but give peace of mind from knowing support is available if needed. These comfy homes are situated in 23 purpose-built schemes across Bristol. The schemes are looked after by Brunelcare’s housing officers and their site team providing support with day to day living, if required.
We also provide a property maintenance service for all the homes, taking a weight off your mind.
Nearly every flat within our schemes is equipped with a call service, where emergency out of hours assistance will be prompted.
If you do need support at some point, this is provided to each scheme through our housing teams.
How do I apply?
In the first instance contact Bristol City Council’s HomeChoice team online. Brunelcare’s available properties are advertised on Bristol City Council’s HomeChoice Bristol website.
We have provided some additional help and guidance on this page and you can also call Brunelcare’s Housing Team for information:
