Sheltered & retirement housing
Sheltered housing is your own front door — usually a flat in a small development for older people — with a scheme manager or 24-hour alarm for peace of mind. It's independence, with a safety net.
Who it's for
- People typically aged 55 or over
- Older people finding a family home too much to manage
- Couples wanting to stay together with light support nearby
What you'll need
- Age threshold (usually 55+, some schemes 60+)
- Able to live independently — this isn't a care home
- Benefits and pensions both fine — many residents get Housing Benefit
