Stafford and Rural Homes

Our sheltered housing service helps to enable independent living for people aged 60 or over in self contained flats, bedsits and bungalows across the Borough.

What is Sheltered Housing? 

Its housing designed to help you feel safe, happy and to live an independent, full and active life within the community.

Reassurance is provided by a dedicated Care and Support Team, whenever you need it.  A Housing Support Coordinator is available Monday – Friday between 8.30am and 5 pm.  At all other times the service is provided through Stafford and Rural Homes’ own Control Centre, staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Sheltered housing schemes are not nursing or residential homes.  Each individual is responsible for their own welfare and should be able to ask family, friends, and statutory and voluntary organisations for support.  Stafford and Rurals services are a key part of that support system and we are there to help you if you need our help and support to maintain your tenancy and independence.
