Care homes and housing options

Information about care homes, sheltered housing and extra care housing.

Sheltered housing

Sheltered housing consists of self-contained flats within buildings that provide a safe and secure environment for older people.

It allows you to have your own home, while benefiting from the reassurance of staff on site during working hours. Most schemes have communal lounge areas and gardens, and some organise activities for residents.

For more information and guidance visit the supported and sheltered housing pages on People First.
