The Sheltered Housing service continues to provide support for tenants in sheltered complexes. Due to current restrictions, the wardens have replaced their daily visits with telephone calls and are ensuring that the residents have access to support services.

In addition, the Sheltered Housing cleaners are helping to keep the residents safe by continuing to ensure that communal areas are cleaned to a high standard. All Sheltered tenants have lifeline pull cords in their properties. The lifeline is a 24 hour service that operates seven days a week which they can use in an emergency or if they require assistance. The current situation means that it is difficult for the tenants to socialise with each other, however the residents of Conway Court in Penlan are participating in a daily sing-song during the welfare telephone call. They have enjoyed this so much that they have encouraged other complexes to take part too.
