  1. GLOUCESTER CITY HOMES COMMUNITY SHELTERED HOUSING

  2. WHAT IS SHELTERED HOUSING? Sheltered housing is normally built specifically for people over retirement age or for people with disabilities. The homes are generally flats, bungalows or both, grouped around a communal facility such as a lounge. Sometimes the accommodation is linked to the communal areas by corridors. The homes all have their own front doors and are self-contained. But they differ from ordinary housing because they are grouped together and have a dedicated Community Scheme Manager to support the people who live there. The Community Scheme Manager will regularly check on your well-being and help you to access services that may enable you to remain as independent as possible in your own home. This can include help from Social Services, health services and voluntary services. Community Scheme Manager

  3. WHAT IS SEMI-SHELTERED HOUSING? Semi-sheltered housing is similar to sheltered housing but does not have communal facilities. It still has the support of a part-time Scheme Manager who visits daily but is not based on-site, and your home is connected to a 24-hour community alarm service.

  4. IS OUR COMMUNITY SHELTERED HOUSING RIGHT FOR YOU? We offer sheltered housing for people aged 60 or over, or people with disabilities of a younger age. Each scheme has its own Community Scheme Manager. The Community Scheme Manager checks you are fit and well every day and provides a safe and secure environment where you can live independently in your own home. SUPPORT PLAN HELP NEEDS Each home has a 24-hour "Lifelink" community alarm system that allows you to summon help in an emergency. The alarm system is normally a two-way intercom fixed to the wall in your hallway, with pull cords in the main rooms. You can also have a pendant to wear around your neck or on a wrist-band. When you operate the alarm, staff in the emergency control centre can hear you anywhere in your home, and the pendant will normally work in the garden as well as indoors.
