What is INDEPENDENCE at SLH and what services can you expect?

In a world so focussed on beauty and youthfulness let's spotlight the richness that ageing can give us!

Independence at SLH focus on age without limits and will always promote the energy and youth that Independence can nurture in our residents!

If you are over 60, our independent living service, Independence at SLH, is designed to help you maintain your independence and stay safe in your home for as long as you wish to live there!

Our Independence team offer advice and support to help you live the best quality of life possible.

Each flat is fitted with a call alarm which goes to a call centre and helps you remain safe in your home, our team monitor the alarms and also provide a call service if this is something you request.

We can also help with our welfare checks and our information and advice hub – (launching soon…) – to provide information, advice and signposting.

We are passionate about enabling people within our homes to be safe, comfortable and integrated into the community using an approach based on the Five Ways to Wellbeing.
