As one of our smallest schemes, Keebledale House is intimate and friendly and nestled in a quiet and leafy corner just behind handy bus routes to Newcastle and Wallsend. 

With popular film shows and other social events in the scheme’s bright and comfortable lounge, you can make new friends or get out and about with ease.

The scheme consists of 23 one-bedroom flats, two communal lounges for residents, a fully equipped communal kitchen and a number of quiet areas for residents to use.

Meet the Sheltered Housing Officer: Gwen Terry

"Hello, my name is Gwen and I have been a Sheltered Housing Officer for two years now. Before this job I worked in a nursery (the kind with plants) and a café and another housing organisation, so I feel that I have brought a range of skills with me into this job.

"I like working in small, friendly schemes with a very welcoming feel.  I like to help residents get involved in all sorts of things – I’ve just started working both here and at Eastbourne Court, where we created a glass etching and a mosaic, and have been making hanging baskets and growing vegetables.  I’m looking forward to having fun with Keebledale House residents too!

"If I had to describe myself I would say that I was easy to get on with; I’m enthusiastic and patient and I laugh a lot!"

Interesting fact: "I love keeping fit: I go to the gym 5 times a week as well as doing Yoga, both of which keep me energised and motivated every day."

What will my flat be like?

The one bedroom flats have their own lounge, bedroom, bathroom and wc. There is a fitted kitchen with its own cooker and fridge supplied. Each flat has a number of warden call pull cords, which link each resident to the CCAS Control Room in case of emergency. Your warden will show you how to operate this equipment.  

How much will it cost?

The average rent for a flat in a sheltered scheme is about £42 per week .The service will cost you about £11 a week. This does not include the charge for general maintenance of the building such as cleaning the shared areas. We include the cost of the service in your rent. We will tell you if we change the charge and we try to keep the cost as low as possible.
