Sheltered Housing
What is sheltered housing?
It is housing with support for people of pensionable age. There are
scheme officers employed by Shepherds Bush Housing Association who
visits homes to ensure tenants safety and security. They can check
on tenants welfare during the weekdays. All flats are linked to a
central alarm system, so there is always someone to help in case of
an emergency. Social activities and outings are organised on a
regular basis, and these are popular as they help to tackle
isolation. There is a common room for parties and activities, and
regular visits by SBHA staff including housing management and
maintenance surgeries at the scheme.
