Homes for Independent Living
Homes for Independent Living
Homes for Independent Living aims to provide individuals with,
easily managed homes that allow older people to keep their privacy,
dignity and independence.
Medway Council operates eight Homes
for Independent Living Schemes, with around 300 units, for
people 60 years and older in Gillingham, Twydall and
Rainham.
Accommodation is completely independent and each scheme consists
of a number of studio flats, some one-bedroom flats and one-bedroom
bungalows.
All accommodation has 24-hour emergency cover via the community
alarm service (Medway Lifeline) fitted in each unit, plus the
added security of a scheme manager who is at the scheme during
normal working hours Monday through to Friday. The Scheme Manager
can organise a whole range of services to help residents, but will
not provide nursing care.
These units cannot be purchased under the right to buy or right
to acquire schemes and tenancies can only be succeeded by a spouse
or civil partner and not by any other family members.
