Sheltered housing

There are a number of sheltered and supported housing schemes in Stockport. These are ideal for older people who wish to live independently, in comfort and security with the opportunity to socialise and get involved with leisure activities when they choose.

The accommodation is self-contained with one or two bedrooms and a lounge, or a bed-sitting room, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Most properties have a Scheme Manager to ensure the smooth running of the building and support the residents where possible. For added peace of mind, there is a 24 hour alarm service that enables residents to summon help in an emergency. This is monitored by the Scheme manager or, when they are not on duty, by CareCall who provide a mobile warden response 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The sheltered accommodation owned by Stockport Council is managed by Stockport Homes and other properties in Stockport are managed by other local Housing Associations, or Registered Social Landlords (RSLs). Follow the link below for the contact details of these organisations.
