Sheltered Housing
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.
For information about the various sheltered schemes available and a brief overview of what sheltered housing is about, ask for a copy of 'A guide to Sheltered Housing in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames'. Printed copies are available by contacting the Sheltered Housing Team on 020 8439 7742 or you can download a copy - the document is split into two 'contents to schemes index' and 'details of the sheltered schemes' - see Related Documents below.
