Retirement Housing Booklet

GM2030 - RETIREMENT Housing:GM2030 - RETIREMENT HOUSING 11/07/2012 13:04

Welcome to New Charter and to our bookletabout Retirement Housing.

We provide safe, comfortable homes for rent. Some of our accommodation is designed specifically

for older people. We own and manage around 14,500 homes in Tameside which include 22 Schemes

and 1 Extra Care Scheme. The map at the back of this booklet shows their location and will help

you make the right home choice.

Our retirement housing for rent is ideal for people who want to enjoy their lives, free from worries

of insecurity or home maintenance. It also provides peace of mind if you are concerned about your

health and would feel better knowing there’s someone to call on - just in case.

If you are over 60, whatever your current circumstances, whether you rent or own your present

home, you can apply to live in one of our schemes. You do not need to be living in Tameside, you

will have your own self contained apartment, which is designed with old people in mind.

Your home will have central heating, a fitted kitchen and bathroom, and the support of a Scheme

Manager. The Community Response Service will cover emergency calls out-of-hours via the speech

alarm in each property, 365 days a year. We have electronic door entry systems which provide safety

and security in each scheme, giving you peace of mind and making it a ‘home from home’.

You will find a happy, sociable environment where you can join in activities when you feel like

company and enjoy your privacy when you don’t.

Our staff receive ongoing professional training to ensure a high standard of service delivery. On site

there will be a fully trained Scheme Manager to co-ordinate any support needs required and liaise

with our Repairs Service on your behalf.

The Scheme Manager will co-ordinate weekly social activities. This will vary between schemes to

reflect the interests of the residents. All tenants are invited to take part.

You are welcome to contact New Charter to arrange a visit to one of our schemes to help you

make an informed choice about this type of housing.
