Housing in a complex

This is sheltered type housing which consists of blocks of flats with communal areas and facilities including a community alarm. It is only for people aged 60 and over who have an assessed need.

Older person's housing

Older persons housing is self contained accommodation, which doesn’t have communal areas or facilities, but is in an area or block where neighbours will predominately be aged over 50. The ground floor accommodation is reserved for people aged over 60. This accommodation also usually has a community alarm.
