All sheltered housing schemes are linked to the mobile warden service.  This means that you will have a 24-hour warden service when your Sheltered Housing Officer is not at work.  We also provide the Community Care Alarm Service which provides emergency help and support.  Click here to find out more

Sheltered housing is safe and secure.  Most schemes have a door-entry system on the main front door.  Most schemes have communal facilities that you can use, such as communal lounges, kitchens, and laundry.
