Older people and housing

A man from Salford

Sheltered housing
There are many landlords in Salford that provide housing especially designed for older people or "sheltered housing". The schemes offer housing to people who wish to continue to live an independent lifestyle, but would like the reassurance of extra support.

We have a brochure Guide to Sheltered Housing in Salford. If you would like us to send copies of this brochure to you please call Salford Property Shop on 0808 100 2347 or email: salfordpropertyshop@salford.gov.uk.

Housing Choice for people over 50
Salford’s Housing Choice Service is a new, two-year LinkAge Plus pilot scheme supporting people over 50 who are thinking about moving home. For further information please call the Housing Choice Service Team on 0161 793 2879 or email Housingchoice@salford.gov.uk

Assistance with property repairs
If you want information or advice on property repairs for older people living in private housing please call Salford Home Improvement Agency on 0161 793 2896 or email home-improvement.agency@salford.gov.uk

Other support for staying in your home
A care line called Care on Call is available to all Salford residents who need extra support to maintain their independence and stay in their home. For further information please visit Care on Call.
