Bield Housing Association

sheltered housing

Sheltered housing provides cottages or flats that are specially designed for older people combined with support and community facilities. Bield has a large number of sheltered houses at various locations in Scotland.

Sheltered housing has all the design features of amenity housing and many more. Additional facilities normally include:

  • communal lounge to assist social contact and companionship
  • a laundry complete with efficient and economic washing and drying facilities
  • a guest suite for use by friends and relatives
  • enhanced security by controlled entry access and a full fire alarm system

(Some sheltered housing developments may not have the full range of communal facilities)

A higher level of support and service is available in sheltered housing, although personal care is not provided by Bield. Additional services include:

  • a Scheme Manager who provides support and assistance to tenants as well as managing the development
  • cleaning of common areas
  • maintenance of all shared areas, including the garden and grounds
