Older persons

We want all the people who use our service to live as independently as possible throughout their life.

Who we support

We currently support around 1,000 older people in accommodation and via floating support across the UK.

How we support

We deliver successful and innovative services to meet the needs of older people who want to continue to live independently. We provide floating support and have a wide range of housing options designed to enhance choice, independence and security including:

scheme-based staff
extra care
sheltered housing with communal facilities
assistive technology and an anti-burglary project
a Home Improvement Agency to provide practical assistance and repair or adapt homes
a hospital discharge project to reduce bed blocking
community hubs and specialist ethnic minority services to enable service users to meet and reduce isolation.

And…

We strive to deliver high quality services which reflect good practice in the industry and were awarded 87 grade A results in recent Supporting People reviews. We also recently won new contracts to provide combined support and care to older persons in Barnet and Enfield.

To find out more about our services to older people, please contact your regional office.

By giving up some of their time to help us build on the good work we do, volunteers make a real difference to people’s lives.

Does volunteering interest you?
