Sheltered Housing in Swindon
Sheltered Housing is a popular housing choice for many people with a variety
of housing needs.
Whether you currently rent from the Council or other landlords, or own your
own home you can be accepted on the waiting list (providing you are over 60
or over 50 and on Disability Living Allowance and have no pets).
Please note owners need to be over 60.
To make life even simpler, the Council shares its waiting list with most other
registered social landlords (sometimes called Housing Associations) so completing
one form will mean you can be considered for over 50 schemes throughout the
Swindon area.
Although each scheme is slightly different, within the majority of schemes you
will find: Individual self-contained flats,
bungalows or studio flats
Carpeted and lit internal corridors
Fully furnished communal lounges
The services of a resident warden
or visiting scheme manager
Guest rooms for visitors
Regular coffee mornings and social activities
Economic central heating systems
Communal laundries
High level of fire protection and security
24 hour emergency alarm cover
And most importantly a sense of
independence in a happy environment
with the knowledge that help is on hand
if required.
Extra Care Sheltered Housing
There are currently 4 sheltered schemes providing extra care. These schemes
are Newburgh House in Highworth, The Ridings in Rodbourne, Harry Garrett
Court in Wroughton and Maple Court in Moredon. Maple Court offers both
rented and shared ownership options.
Extra care combines the benefits of living independently in sheltered housing
with the provision of domiciliary care on site to enable people
to maintain their independence and remain in their own homes.
All Schemes benefit from having a day care centre on site and the opportunity
for tenants to enjoy a hot lunchtime meal.
To qualify for extra care housing, you must be in receipt of at least
10 hours personal care per week.
