‘We are delighted to be working in partnership with Choice Housing for the provision of a much needed supported, sheltered house in the Bangor area. Living in a supported, sheltered house can help prevent people becoming isolated and lonely. This house is family style in design and provides accommodation for seven older people. The residents can be independent, come and go as they please, have privacy in their own rooms, whilst at the same time have the knowledge that others are nearby so they are not alone and staff are there to provide support. A key feature in alleviating isolation is that home cooked meals, prepared by staff, are eaten together in the communal dining room’. Beverley Surgenor Property and Development Manager at Abbeyfield & Wesley.
