Once
an applicant has made contact with the Manager they
will be invited to the site along with a family member or friend if wished. The Manager will show them around the complex and have an informal chat with them to discuss what the applicant knows about
sheltered accommodation as well as sheltered housing, and whether it would be right
for them.
If they then wish to apply they will be given an application form.

When
the application form is returned, arrangements will be made
for two Trustees of the charity to visit them in their home. It is important that the accommodation offered is right for
their needs. If we are able to meet the needs of the applicant,
their application will be assessed and pointed, and the decision made as to whether the application will proceed. The applicant will be offered a property deemend suitable for their needs. If the offer is refused the applicant will be taken off the list and will need to reapply after one year.

A
person who has been duly appointed as a resident of an almshouse charity is a beneficiary of the charity, not a tenant. This
means that he or she has no legal interest in the almshouse accomodation which has been allocated to him or her, but
occupies it simply with the permission of the trustees. Residents are responsible for their own council tax, utility bills and contents insurance.
