About Vivian Court

Vivian Court sheltered scheme provides 119 self-contained studio flats and 37 one-bedroom flats for the over 55s. The scheme aims to support independent living, wheelchair accessible units available.


Built in 1968, Vivian Court is situated on a pleasant road in the sought-after postcode of Maida Vale. It has attractive front and side gardens. New residents come to us as referrals from Camden Council.

Residents particularly value the security and company they get from living at Vivian Court, as well as the convenience of living close to the amenities on nearby Kilburn High Road.


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 are also lifts and an emergency call system for all flats.

The scheme’s communal facilities include:

  • a communal lounge, dining room and small kitchenette
  • a laundry area
  • an IT room, with three computers
  • attractive gardens
  • limited parking – 19 spaces only.

We employ cleaners and gardeners to service the shared areas and residents can also call our centralised repair service. A guest room can be booked for a reasonable charge.

How we support residents

Residents are provided with a tenancy pack, including their tenancy agreement and a resident’s handbook, outlining their rights and responsibilities. Our sheltered Service Officers work with each resident to draw up 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 support 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.
