Sheltered Housing
Sheltered Housing comprises a number of unfurnished dwellings specially designed with the need of older people in mind. It aims to provide convenient and comfortable accommodation in a setting which allows tenants to come and go as they please yet provides a degree of underlying security and encouragement to make friends and to share a wider social life, through the use of a communal lounge and other facilities provided for the benefit of all.
Some of our schemes have guest rooms. Residents, for a small fee, can hire these. Cats and dogs are not permitted on the schemes but residents may, if they wish, keep fish, a budgerigar or small caged animal as a pet. Our aim is to promote supported independent living throughout all our schemes.
In April 2007 Sheltered Housing updated and reprinted their booklet 'A guide to Sheltered Housing in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames'. This contains details of the various sheltered schemes within the borough as well as background and local information. Printed copies are available by contacting the Sheltered Housing Team on 020 8439 7742.
You can find out more information by contacting Loraine Shaile, Older People's Housing Manager on 020 8439 7742 or by e-mail at loraine.shaile@rbk.kingston.gov.uk
