Looking for a home: housing for older people


Summary (optional)
start content

If you or someone you know is thinking about moving to sheltered housing, extra care housing or into a care home, we can help you consider your options.

Sheltered housing

If you are over 55 you can apply for sheltered housing, which is typically studio apartments, flats or bungalows linked to a 24 hour emergency alarm call system.

Sheltered housing has wardens, who provide advice, make sure you are managing, help you to organise any help you need and help you to sort out any problems.

You live independently, but within a community. Some sheltered housing has shared activities and spaces so that people can have company when wanted and privacy when it isn’t.

Extra care housing

Extra care housing gives people over the age of sixty an opportunity to access support from an on-site dedicated team 24 hours a day.

You live in your own self-contained property and you have your own front door, so you can decide who comes in.

We can assess your needs to see if you are eligible for support and if you are you will receive this from the on-site team.

Benefits of extra care housing:

  • couples and friends can stay together
  • you keep your independence
  • you can join in social activities
  • you have control over your finances
  • you have security and peace of mind
  • you have a home for life as long as it is safe and practicable

There are four extra care housing schemes in Conwy run by local housing associations in partnership with us and the local health board:

Care homes

Care homes provide comfortable accommodation with trained staff on hand to look after your needs day and night.

There are two types of care home:

  • Residential care homes have staff who offer you the same type of care that you would receive from relatives and friends.
  • Nursing homes provide the same level of care as residential care homes, but also have trained nurses to provide skilled nursing care when you need it.
