Show more "Sheltered Plus is a new service for older people provided at Speedwell House - a building with 25 self contained, newly refurbished, studio flats arranged over four floors.
Each flat has a separate bathroom with a walk-in wet room, kitchen and bed-sitting room. The block also has a lift, a communal lounge and a communal garden with some car parking. The Scheme Manager and night time staff are located on site.
As a Sheltered Plus tenant you will receive the same services as with retirement housing but with additional support, which includes:
- Night support staff on-site seven days a week, who can offer emergency assistance. For example, we can do regular, scheduled checks throughout the night to make sure that you are safe.
- 24-hour emergency pull cord in every flat, to alert somebody when you need help
- A Scheme Manager working during the day, Monday to Friday 9am-5pm. The scheme manager will support you with any housing management duties such as tenancy issues.
Additionally, we will prepare a care plan based on your needs so that you can live independently in the community with other older people and avoid the need for a residential placement.
To qualify you will need to be a Barnet resident, aged 60 or over or have a disability with assessed care needs." Show less
