Sheltered Housing
Sheltered housing gives older people the independence of having
their own accommodation with the security of having an alarm
system and a warden. Sheltered properties are usually
small self-contained units or single rooms in a complex, which
often has a communal social area. It is possible to find
sheltered housing to rent or to buy.
Perth & Kinross Council has around 680 sheltered properties for
rent. These are located throughout the area and consist of a
range of cottages, self-contained units and complexes. In
addition, several Housing Associations offer sheltered housing for
rent or shared ownership. You may wish to contact the Housing
Associations directly with regard to sheltered housing as some of
them have their own unique application systems.
