Your opportunity to have a look around a South Somerset Homes’ sheltered scheme

13 August 2007

Great Orchard sheltered scheme in Ilchester, which is owned and managed by South Somerset Homes, is opening its doors to the public on Tuesday 21 August between 10.00 am and 12 noon.

The free event will include an opportunity to speak with the Scheme Manager, Helen Saville, to meet some of the residents, find out about some of the activities enjoyed by residents and tour the facilities.

Sheltered housing is accommodation provided with individually designed support to meet the needs of the individual to live independently as possible within their own homes. Accommodation consists of good quality and affordable self contained flats and bungalows with the added bonus of help and support of a scheme manager. All schemes have a community alarm system and communal lounge where residents can enjoy many varied activities. South Somerset Homes currently has over 50 supported housing schemes.
