Seniors Housing is for older people who want to live independently, but need some support. In Brighton & Hove this used to be called sheltered housing.
Seniors Housing allows older people to be part of an active community, while knowing help is always available.
Most Seniors Housing has a manager or warden. They're on site throughout the day to keep a check on the residents and look after the building.
There is also a 24 hour emergency alarm, so residents can contact the manager or our CareLink Plus alarm service, when the manager is off duty.

There are communal areas like lounges and gardens, and guest rooms for family and friends to stay in.
Extra care housing is for older people who need some extra support to look after themselves. These schemes have 24 hour care staff available. If you’d like to find out more about extra care housing, contact Access Point.
Access Point is the main point of contact for Adult Social Care.
