The accommodation
We have forty one flats in Rochester Row; each has a sitting-room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. All are equipped with an alarm system to summon help in an emergency. Some ground floor flats have a small courtyard.
The minimum age for admission is sixty, although in practice those taking up residence are often older. Applicants must be resident in Westminster at the time of their application, have moderate financial assets, and be able to look after themselves. Priority is given to those not resident in sheltered housing. If a resident becomes too frail to live independently we help them obtain support, but do not provide that support ourselves.
The cost of living is subsidised through the charity’s endowment, although residents make a weekly maintenance contribution.
