Re-registration

Each year, we will ask if you want to stay on Richmond’s housing register.

Sheltered accommodation

Sheltered accommodation is purpose-built or converted housing for older people who, although they are independent, want the security of a resident Scheme Manager to give help if they need it. Tenants can use a 24 hour central alarm call system in an emergency when the warden is off duty. The units are usually self-contained one-bedroom flats for couples and studio flats for single people. The studio flats have their own kitchen and toilet and shared bathroom. We will only consider you for sheltered accommodation if you are over 60.

We have a detailed booklet available which you may find useful, called ‘Housing For Older People’. It describes all the sheltered accommodation in this boroug
