elderly and mental health care

this what one council defines as the needs for supprted accommodation for the eldery which is completely different to supported accomodation for people with mental health issues,both are vital and needed but not a mix of the elderly and people with mh issues

Sheltered accommodation

Sheltered accommodation is a flat or bungalow specially designed and built with the needs of older people or people with a disability in mind.
There are lots of variations between sheltered housing schemes but they usually provide self-contained accommodation with warden/sheltered housing support services where help is on hand for support and assistance. Some schemes have communal facilities such as a communal lounge and laundry facilities.

Supported housing

Supported housing is usually for people with disabilities who need housing-related or care-related support. People can have their own tenancy and may live independently or three or four people may live at the same address.
Another type of accommodation is extra care housing. This is explained below.

Extra care housing

Extra care housing offers a new way of supporting people to live independently for as long as possible. It provides the security and privacy of a home of your own, a range of facilities on the premises, combined with access to 24-hour care/support services if required. For more information, see the extra care housing page.
