About the sheltered flats
All are self contained unfurnished one bedroom flats with the exception of one self contained studio flat. First floor flats are accessed by stairs. Heating is by electric storage heaters and cooking is electric only. They are ideal for an older person who wants to remain independent.
Nicole is the scheme manager. She is on duty Monday to Friday during the morning and is also responsible for nearby Perryfield House. Each flat has a warden call alarm system that can be used in an emergency to call for help. The call will either go through to Nicol or to a call centre. Residents can then speak direct to someone to explain what the problem is and to ask for assistance.
Facilities There is a communal lounge and guest room so that relatives and friends can stay overnight when they visit you. The guest room needs to be booked in advance and a charge is made for using it.
Weekly charges The weekly charge for sheltered flats includes rent, service charge and a support charge. The service charge includes the costs of services such as lighting to communal areas, gardening, cleaning of communal areas, lift and furnishings in a communal lounge. The support charge covers the costs of the scheme manager and the emergency alarm system. If you are in receipt of income support or on a low income you may be entitled to help to pay the rent, service charge and/or support charge.
