The concept of very sheltered housing is to enable retired people to maintain their independence and remain in their own homes as long as possible. All communal facilities and all the rooms in the apartment are accessible to everyone including those using wheelchairs. The services offered at Forum Court are much greater than usually offered in sheltered housing; there is a team of duty managers, one of whom is always present on site, a team of house keeping assistances provide domestic assistance and 1 1/2 hours of cleaning is included within the service charge each week. A daily freshly prepared meal and laundry services are available at an additional charge. There is a programme of regular activities which has created a real community feel at Forum Court. A double guest suite with en suite shower room and bathroom is available at a cost of £55 per night for one person for £65 per night for two people and this includes a light breakfast. We understand the age restriction to be 60 years.
