Independent Living accommodation

Find out more about the Independent Living service we provide and the targeted housing support we provide for people 55+.

Independent Living accommodation

Independent Living accommodation is self-contained accommodation that has been designed primarily to help people aged 55 and over live independently. 

Residents in our schemes have access to an Independent Living Officer who can help them find any extra support needed to sustain their tenancy and carry on living in their home for as long as possible. There are various schemes across Sutton, Carshalton and Wallington with a number of health and wellbeing activities available throughout the year such as:

• Coffee Morning and Independent Living Surgery
• MacMillan Coffee Morning
• Quizzes 

Sutton Connect
