Show more "Our high-quality housing for older people allows residents to live comfortably, securely, and independently whilst in the knowledge that help is there if they need it. At Corbet Court, we offer purpose-built rental properties for people over the age of 60 or over 55 if you are in receipt of PIP (Personal Independence Payment) or DLA (Disability Living Allowance). Each flat consists of a kitchen, lounge, bathroom and bedroom with a 24-hour alarm service if ever you have an emergency.

The flats also benefit from a door entry system for increased security. Corbet Court benefits from a central location, but is situated in a very secluded area surrounded by well kept gardens. The scheme is a pleasant stroll from the town centre, where there is a range of local and commercial shops as well as a weekly town market every Wednesday and Saturday, the town hall, Medical Centre and has good access to bus routes. A variety of independent groups and activities take place including daily coffee morning for all residents to enjoy and engage with each other. On a Wednesday morning we have a great selection of local homemade produce delivered from the WI sector into our lounge. Other on-site facilities include a laundry with both washers and driers, communal garden, communal parking bays including disabled parking bays and visits from hairdresser Dianne who attends to the scheme every Tuesday. The communal kitchen offers cooking facilities.

There is a Scheme Manager Service responsible for the management of the building, security and communal areas. Scheme managers are on site Monday to Wednesday 9am-2pm, Thursday 9am-3pm and Friday 9am-1pm. For more information or to arrange a viewing, please call 0800 1313348 (from landline) or 0300 123 3511 (from mobile) or email contactus@sanctuary-housing.co.uk" Show less
