Sheltered housing

The sheltered housing officer has a lot of roles. These include:

• making daily contact with residents either by the intercom system, or in person
• dealing with neighbour complaints, breach of tenancy conditions and reporting repairs to communal areas
• working with contractors on behalf of tenants about access to individual properties or communal areas for repairs, maintenance or improvements
• arranging social activities for residents and non-residents
• organising other facilities such as visiting care services and hairdressers for residents
• working with social services and health workers for specific needs

Contact your sheltered housing officer.
