Independent living schemes | Accent

Accent’s independent living schemes are purpose-built or adapted developments that accommodate the needs of older customers.

Our independent living schemes provide the freedom and independence of your own home alongside benefits like 24-hour security, accessibility adaptations, and regular activities – plus great communal spaces where customers can meet, relax and socialise.

Why choose an independent living scheme?

Older people often find themselves at greater risk of falls or injury due to step staircases or poor accessibility. Sheltered accommodation means that a customer’s environment is safer, and future-proofed to allow for changes in health or circumstance without the need to move.

Some of the benefits offered at our schemes include:

  • an opportunity to continue living independently within a community
  • a safe and secure environment
  • good locations near transport links
  • maintained communal areas and gardens
  • accommodation that has adaptations to support an individual’s needs
  • organised social events and activities
  • access to specialist services through wellbeing plans
  • specialist housing partner to give customers extra security, support and advice
