Sheltered housing

Sheltered housing provides a comfortable, convenient and secure accommodation whilst enabling full independence with the support of a housing scheme officer and 24-hour emergency alarm system.

Generally, the scheme officer will:

• respond to emergencies and liaise with the appropriate people
• check equipment and alarms system
• will support the organisation of social activities for residents

There is a range of sheltered housing across Sunderland. Information on the schemes can be found through Sunderland Information Point.
