We have a range of good quality apartments and bungalows for rent, designed for single people and couples aged 50 and over.
This sort of accommodation is also sometimes called sheltered housing or leased retirement homes. It offers security and peace of mind, allowing you to live as actively, independently and privately as you like – but with the option of companionship if you want it.
(It is very different from care homes or nursing homes where people may need to be looked after full time.)
Many people find ASRA housing for older people an easier and more attractive option than maintaining a property which is too large for them. However, if an older person already owns or rents an existing property, they may not qualify for this type of accommodation.
Our schemes are designed to let you live your life the way you want. Each is different, but many provide the following features:
- Self-contained accommodation
- Your own front door, bathroom and fitted kitchen
- Communal facilities such as a laundry, communal lounge, and guest room
- Communal gardens
- A scheme manager
- Door entry systems
- 24-hour emergency warden call service support through friendly and experienced operators
Residents can choose to take part in a wide range of social activities if they wish.
As an ASRA tenant living in sheltered housing, you pay a rent and a service charge. The service charge covers the cost of the scheme manager (if applicable), cleaning, gardening and maintaining communal areas. You may be eligible for housing benefit to help pay rent and service charges – we can advise you.
We have 28 retirement housing schemes across Greater London and the Home Counties, many meeting mobility standards and with wheelchair access.
