**Coronavirus update for residents of our sheltered schemes**

We’re doing everything we can to protect the residents at our sheltered accomodation schemes during the Coronavirus outbreak. We’re following Government and NHS advice and are asking residents to follow this too.

We recently sent letters to all residents with further information about the impact the virus is having on our services and have also provided additional guidance in the form of a flyer.  These documents are available to download below.

If you have any additional questions please contact us.

It's the perfect blend of independent living with support when you need it. You’ll need to be over-55 to qualify. If you have a long-term illness or disability we can consider you if you’re a little younger. 

You’ll find our sheltered schemes across London, the Midlands, Kent and Sussex, where we’re rated ‘outstanding’.

Our sheltered schemes offer one- or two-bed self-contained apartments, each with their own kitchen, bathroom and front door. Many have balconies or patio space, with shared gardens and are accessible throughout. The majority also have guest rooms for family or friends.

We run regular social activities – our aim is to promote active, healthy lifestyles, but it’s up to you how much you want to get involved. Our friendly schemes also offer a safe and secure environment.  Our staff are  there during set hours each week.  And we also provide 24-hour emergency assistance through a call system, so there's always someone available for support.
