Housing for Over 55s
We have 7 independent living schemes based in Gloucester, which provide accommodation for people over 55, who wish to stay independent in their homes.
Each scheme has access to our team of Independent Living Co-ordinators who can assist with tenancy related matters and helping residents to stay independent and safe in their homes.
The properties are a mixture of one and two bed properties and many have onsite communal facilities for the community to use.
How to Apply
We are unable to take any direct applications for our independent living schemes as allocation is run through Homeseeker Plus.

Independent Living Services
Independent Living Co-ordinators are based across the schemes to provide customers with assistance when needed. They also ensure that we have strong and effective relationships in place with support services and agencies such as Adult Social Care to assist customers who need additional help to maintain their independence and sustain their tenancies. They are also there to carry out regular checks of the schemes to make sure that they meet health and safety requirements.
The teams’ focus is maintaining independence at home wherever possible.
Health and safety is important and we also have a dedicated Compliance Officer.
The team can help customers with:
- Neighbour disputes
- Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs)
- Managing your tenancy agreement
- Arranging scheme meetings
- Arranging social activities
They can also find organisations to get help for customers for things like:
- Rent arrears and other debts
- Budgeting
- Social isolation
- Substance misuse
- Mental health
