Retirement and sheltered housing
Sheltered housing is for people over the age of 50, who want to remain independent, but also want the added security and reassurance of a scheme manager and alarm call service. They are normally self-contained flats, with communal lounges, laundry facilities, lifts, door entry systems and specially adapted facilities.
There are a number of sheltered and retirement housing schemes in Stockport available for rent, shared ownership and market sale.
Some of these are owned and managed by our partner Registered Providers (formerly known as housing associations) and some by private housing providers.
