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 sheltered housing brochure which can be downloaded at the foot of this page. If you would like a paper copy please contact Salford Home Search.

Salford’s Housing Choice Service supports older and vulnerable people 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 Salford 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 Salford Care on Call.
