50+ Housing
Darlington Borough Council are proud to offer safe and vibrant accommodation for over 50s.
50+ housing usually consists of 1 or 2 bedroom flats, but there are also some bungalows available. Living in this type of accommodation can have huge benefits to your well being.
Our schemes have a keen focus on community living with a warm and welcoming feel. The varied activities can help you maintain a healthy and independent life. All 50+ housing also comes with the Lifeline service giving you extra peace of mind.
We are committed to providing safe, energy efficient and comfortable homes. We have a responsibility to make sure your home is safe, healthy and free from things that could cause serious harm including damp and mould. Find out more information on our Damp, Mould and Condensation website.
Sheltered housing
Sheltered housing offers affordable homes, social opportunities, scheme management support and everyday reassurance. If you feel you would enjoy living in one of our vibrant buildings then get in touch. Live the way that is right for you in our sheltered accommodation.
Extra care
Extra care housing is for people who have care needs but is not a care home. This type of housing offers the same support and facilities as sheltered housing. There is also a delicious lunchtime meal served daily and an onsite care team to meet any care needs.
Good neighbour
Good neighbour housing focuses on a person's independence. You will have the freedom to carry out your daily life as you please. You have your own front door and a local community centre where you can meet with your Scheme Manager. There are also activities you can join.
Lifeline and Telecare
We offer a range of services, Lifeline and Telecare gives you the freedom to live independently. This is because you have the security of knowing that you can always get help when you need it. It can give family and carers the assurance that their loved one can get help at any time.
