Amenity housing, sheltered housing and very sheltered housing all have special adaptations which make them suitable for older people to continue to live full and independent lives in their own homes for as long as possible. Which of these types of housing would best suit you depends on your age and your health.
All Aberdeen sheltered and very sheltered housing tenancies include a charge for support provided by Bon Accord Care which all tenants are liable for. The rate for 2024/25 is:
Sheltered housing: £14.80 per week
Very sheltered housing: £40.25 per week.
If you are concerned that you will be unable to afford the charge, a financial assessment can be carried out which may reduce the liability to £0.
