Supported Housing and Nursing Care

For those pensioners who are more elderly and frail, provisions for supported housing or nursing care help to ease them through times which are, for some, full of anxieties about the future.

With accommodation specifically designed for the needs of elderly people, the Board can offer its pensioners, including clergy widows or widowers, support and security at a time of life when it is most needed.

The Accommodation

The Pensions Board owns and administers supported housing in seven locations, and one nursing home for the benefit of clergy pensioners.

These buildings have been purpose-designed in particular for the single or widowed pensioner who may find it difficult to cope living alone.

Individual flats offer independence and privacy, with dedicated staff near at hand if needed.

Within each of these caring Christian communities there is a chapel, dining room and gardens.

 

With the provision of handrails, lifts, wheelchair access and special aids for bathing, Pensions Board accommodation offers a solution to anxieties about increasing infirmity and worries about the future.
