Before applying for our Sheltered Housing you are encouraged to read through our Lettings and Allocations Policy - Sheltered Housing to see if you would be eligible. In short, we would not be able to consider you if you are under aged 60 (55 if you have a disability) or you have assets exceeding £150,000 (including a property), or an income of over £18,000 per annum (£23,000 for couples). Some exceptions do apply. For instance, the assets and income limit does not apply if you are applying for studio type accommodation. If you think you would be eligible, or have any questions as to your eligibility, you can Contact Us.
Before applying for residential care, you are positively encouraged to visit Elizabeth House. You can contact Elizabeth House to arrange a visit by telephoning 01707 338820. The staff at Elizabeth House will discuss with you your needs and talk to you as to whether Elizabeth House would be suitable. They can also deal with the application process and advise you on the funding options available to you. If you require the financial support of your local Adult Care Services Department they can discuss with you how to go about this.
If you are interested in our other types of housing, please go to the section marked Other Schemes and read the section on Nominations.
On receipt of an enquiry, the Association will forward to you the Lettings and Allocations Policy (or the relevant paperwork for the Care Home as appropriate) which shows how we assess applicants and how our properties are allocated. We will also send you an Application Form and details of the schemes in the area you are interested in. We will also send you information about the Choice Based Lettings registration process, as it is important you are registered if applying for our sheltered or general needs housing.
