Independent Living

Our Independent Living is a group of unfurnished, self-contained homes specifically designed for older people. The aim is to provide independent, secure accommodation with the optional addition of social facilities and functions.

Independent Living in the Stroud district
We have twenty-eight Independent Living schemes within our district.  The schemes are made up of studio, one or two bedroom bungalow or flats grouped together to help promote companionship and a feeling of security.  Some properties within the schemes have been specifically built with ramps, wider doors and lower working surfaces for tenants in wheelchairs.

Our Independent Living schemes are suitable for all tenants aged 55 and over.  We aim to maintain your independence within your own home although extra support can be provided by friends, family, social and health services.

We do not have a pull cord system, Careline is available on request.  Some of our schemes have Visitor Rooms available for friends and family for which there is a daily fee.

Scheme services consist of a Site Officer and access to a Housing related Enabling Officer.  A Community Hub Facilitator and small team concentrate on Social Inclusion across the district.
