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
