Housing for older people

Summary

If you are having problems with your housing situation, our Housing and Advice Team can talk through the options available. A visit can be arranged if you have difficulty in coming to the office. We can offer advice on:

  • Staying in your current home;
  • Changes that may be necessary to make your home more suitable for your needs;
  • Other housing options if you are looking to move;
  • Landlord problems if you rent your home;
  • Specialist and support agencies that may be able to offer further help;
  • Welfare, debt and state benefits form our own Welfare Rights Officer;
  • Our Care and Repair Service, when repairs or adaptations are needed to your home.
