What to expect from this service
Older persons housing schemes
We are currently transforming the service we provide within our older persons schemes, with a greater focus on:
- Tenancy management
- Strengthening partnerships
- Supporting residents independence and wellbeing
Each scheme will benefit from:
- A dedicated Scheme Coordinator/Officer providing a visible presence
- Support to help residents remain independent and stay well
- Encouragement of resident-led activities
- Scheme Caretaker support, including grounds maintenance and small DIY assistance
This enhanced service began rolling out on 1 April 2026 in the South East and North East. We plan to engage with residents in the West later in 2026 regarding future service options.
In addition, all homes in older persons housing schemes are fitted with a Lifeline alarm system, providing:
- 24-hour access to a monitoring centre
- Increased safety and reassurance
- Support to enable independent living
This service is delivered in partnership with Corserv Care, with calls handled at their Truro-based monitoring centre.
