3 Sheltered Housing in Barking and Dagenham What is Sheltered Housing? Sheltered Housing is accommodation specially designed for people over 60, or younger if you are registered disabled or in receipt of Disability Living Allowance. It is not a care home or residential care. All our sheltered housing is self-contained. You would have your own front door, kitchen, bathroom and lounge with combined or separate bedroom. How would Sheltered Housing benefit me? Help is available if you need it from our mobile or resident wardens. You still have the independence of your own home. People of a similar age live in the same block or complex as you. Some schemes offer communal facilities such as Television lounges and social activities.
