Sheltered Housing

Sheltered housing is for older people who want to lead an independent life in their own home. It is designated to provide independence in a secure and friendly environment. The Council manages 45 sheltered housing schemes in 30 villages throughout South Cambridgeshire. The schemes consist of bungalows or flats in a group, with communal facilities available on most schemes. Each scheme has a designated sheltered housing officer who normally works 5 days per week, generally between the hours of 9.00 am and 5.00 pm. All properties have the Tunstall Telecom alarm system installed and this is connected to a 24-hour control centre managed by Invicta Telecare.
