Straightforward answers about sheltered housing.
These are the questions people most often ask when deciding whether Treveor House could be right for them.
Is Treveor House a care home?
No. Treveor House is sheltered housing, so residents live independently in their own private space and remain responsible for their personal care. The House Manager and team help the house run smoothly, freshly prepared meals and communal areas offer company, and the emergency alarm provides reassurance. A care home is different because accommodation and personal care are provided together, including help with tasks such as washing, dressing and using the toilet; some care homes also provide nursing care. Treveor House does not provide personal or nursing care. Read Age UK’s sheltered housing guide.
Who can live at Treveor House?

What support is available?

What is included in the monthly bill?

Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for Housing Benefit towards the eligible rent and service charge parts of the bill.
