Can you look after yourself independently but need some support? Moorview is a separate area at Heathlands Village for ‘supported independent living’ – a great solution if you want the peace of mind and security of knowing there’s always a helping hand.
The Fed offers 31 unfurnished flats and apartments for rent by people aged 55 and over. Our tenants live in their own homes and choose how much or how little support they want to have to help them live independently.
As a tenant you can use Heathlands Village facilities including the restaurant, Village Cafe, shop, laundry and hair salon. You can also take part in the Village’s busy residents’ activity schedule, though Moorview has its own social activity programme with meals out, cinema and theatre trips and a weekly coffee afternoon.
The Moorview team can give you support with personal care such as getting dressed, showering and remembering to take your medication. They are on hand everyday till 8 pm for general support such as helping you to make appointments, pay your bills, look after your home, and keep in touch with your family and friends.
For added peace of mind, Moorview has an emergency call system in the event that you are taken ill or have a fall.
Financial help towards your rent and support.
As a tenant you may be able to have your rent covered in full or in part by Housing Benefit.
In addition you may be able to get funding for personal care and general support from your Local Council. Our CAST team can advise you about this.
