Applying for Sheltered Accommodation or Housing with Care

Who may apply?

Sheltered Housing.

Applicants should normally be of retirement age and be able to lead an independent life; however anyone in need who would benefit from support in a sheltered environment may apply.

Housing with Care.

Applicants must be in need of Housing with Care because their present situation may no longer be suitable; meaning their care and other facilities cannot readily, practically or economically be provided there. They would require a minimum of four hours care a week to meet the criteria and usually be living in the South Norfolk Area or be able to demonstrate a local connection. Applicants from outside the catchment area are accepted on the waiting list but are considered only if there is no suitable applicant from South Norfolk at the time a vacancy occurs.

How to apply.

An application form can be obtained from South Norfolk Council (01508 533633). Once the application has been returned, a Housing Officer will make an appointment to visit and make a home assessment.

All suitable applicants are then nominated to Saffron Housing Trust for the Supported Housing Officer to visit and assess on their level of need. The person considered most appropriate will then be offered the Tenancy.
