The scheme is situated on a pleasant road in the sought-after area of Maida Vale. New residents come to us as referrals from Camden Council.
The facilities we provide
Residents live independently in their own flats and can ask for support from the Service Officer if they need it. There is also lifts and an emergency call system to all flats.
The scheme’s communal facilities include:
- a large lounge
- a meeting room
- a laundry service
- an IT room
- extensive gardens, including an attractive roof garden
- limited parking – 25 spaces only
We employ cleaners and gardeners to service the shared areas and residents can also call our centralised repair service. Several guest rooms available for a reasonable charge.

How we support residents
New residents are provided a tenancy pack, including their tenancy agreement and a resident handbook outlining their rights and responsibilities. Our sheltered Service Officers then work with each resident to develop an individual support plan. The plan may offer support with daily living skills such as claiming benefits, making rent payments, sorting out rent arrears and reporting repairs. Residents who need more help can be referred to specialist agencies.
The friendly atmosphere at our sheltered schemes is vital to us, so we recruit people who are warm, open and sensitive to the needs of older people.
