Our independent housing for older people is for people aged 55 years or over who wish to live independently, but who may require a degree of support to do so. Most of our properties benefit from a 24-hour monitoring service providing emergency cover should you need it and communal Wi-Fi. (Please note that Harding House, Kent Court and Peppermint Court do not have the monitoring service). All our homes are situated in the London Borough of Sutton, some of which are designed for wheelchair users.

We have a housing with care scheme (for those with additional care needs) based in Wallington, called Cloverdale Court. On-site care is provided 24/7 together with a day centre, which operates Monday to Friday. Our housing with care manager works onsite providing support and assistance to residents who may need a little extra help to manage their tenancy and to help residents live as independently as possible.

We also provide general housing available for rent within the London Borough of Sutton for families and single people. Some of these are suitable for wheelchair users and some designated as disabled persons units.

Housing with care

Currently all vacancies are by nomination from the London Borough of Sutton with referrals made by their adult social services team.

If you are interested in Cloverdale Court, please contact Sutton Council on 020 8770 5000. They will explain how needs assessments are made for people seeking housing with care accommodation in the London Borough of Sutton.

General housing

All vacancies are filled via nominations from the London Borough of Sutton. The Borough will only nominate people from the Council’s housing register.

Although we do not hold a waiting list for general housing, we do consider mutual exchange applications from tenants of other social landlords. For more information on this, please visit the HomeSwapper website.
