Sheltered Accommodation
Sheltered housing is accommodation for rent, which is specially designed for older people, grouped together, usually within one complex. There is usually a range of communal facilities available such as a lounge, laundry, hairdressing room and so on. Each complex is usually called a scheme and has a scheme manager.

It can help you to decide which scheme you might like to live in and whether you want a flat, bedsit or bungalow.
