Types of Sheltered Properties

Nearly all sheltered flats are one bedroom properties. There are a few 2 bedroom properties and bedsits. All flats in one bedroom and two bedroom properties are self-contained with their own kitchen, toilet and bathroom. Only one scheme in Lambeth has shared bathing facilities. All sheltered flats are connected to an emergency alarm call system.

Some sheltered properties are specially designed or adapted for people with disabilities and allow wheelchair access.
