creating communities to be proud of
homes for older people...accommodation types
Accommodation types
Bungalows
One and two bedroom bungalows. Some are grouped around sheltered accommodation. Others are situated in local neighbourhoods throughout North East Lincolnshire.
Please note that you must be 60 or over to be considered for a bungalow.
Flats
One and two bedroom flats. Some are grouped together.
Sheltered accommodation
Flats or studio apartments in an enclosed complex, some with communal facilities such as lounge or laundry.
For grouped flats or some sheltered accommodation you must be 60* or over and in others, you must be 55* or over. We will give you detailed information about the accommodation you can consider with your
application.
We want to make sure that we keep older person’s accommodation for rent so it is not eligible for ‘Right to Buy’ or ‘Right to Acquire’.
* If you are slightly below the age criteria, exceptions will be considered such as a disability or support need. However, as an exception you must have a specific need and must comply with the expectations of an older person’s environment.
Handyperson
Our handyperson service offers practical help for those small jobs and home improvements that you may not be able to do yourself. Please click on this link to find out more about the service.
We also have a competitively priced decorator who offers a reliable service tailored to the needs of older residents.

Activities
In sheltered accommodation residents hold activities for a range of interests. Some examples include:
- coffee mornings - where people meet and socialise
- bingo
- exercise classes
- handicraft groups such as card making
- religious services
- visiting speakers or interest groups
- day trips, outings, shopping or restaurant trips
Older people find these activities help them:
- meet new people and make friends
- develop new interests
- keep fit and active
- avoid becoming lonely and depressed
These activities are mainly for sheltered residents but in some schemes other older people in the community are encouraged to take part.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be considered for sheltered accommodation if my partner is younger than me?
Yes, as long as your partner understands that it is older persons' accommodation and accepts the conditions that apply. We will assess each situation to make sure that a younger partner will not disrupt an older person's community.
What happens if I have a younger dependant?
We will assess your need and any risks. In many cases dependants support older people so they must agree to accept the conditions that apply. We will assess each situation to make sure that a younger dependant will not disrupt an older person’s community.
Can I keep my pet dog or cat?
Yes you can. We understand that your pet is a valued and loved companion. You will be responsible for clearing up any mess and making sure that your pet does not disturb other residents.
If my family want to visit - where will they stay?
In many sheltered schemes we have guest bedrooms that relatives can stay in at a low cost.
I don't need support now but I may in the next few years. Can I move into sheltered accommodation now?
Yes, we encourage you to plan ahead so that you avoid difficulties and can enjoy your independence as you get older.
What about my mobility scooter? Is there somewhere to store and charge it?
You will need to consider this before you accept an offer as storage space can be limited and is only available in some accommodation. You will be charged a small fee to charge your scooter. We suggest that before you purchase a scooter you think about where you will keep it and what size and type will be suitable.
I need a level access shower as I cannot get in the bath any more. Is this possible?
Yes. Before you move in we will assess all of your needs and where possible we will arrange suitable minor adaptations to your property. For more significant adaptations we will refer you for an Occupational Therapy assessment to find out what help you may get.
