I am 51 and got a housing association bungalow not sheltered tho. I was assessed as medical priority for a bungalow due to my disability. Took while to get one suitable tho as most old build did not have required access or adaptations as I am in wheelchair.
I suggest contacting council about the banding you are in see if you can be assessed as medical need. My occupational health advisor completed a housing needs assessment
Once my housing needs assessment was submitted my banding was changed allowing me to bid on bungalows
.
Me too.@janer1967.....I was assessed and got a brand new purpose-built housing association bungalow 6 years ago at age 65. My wife qualifies as my carer but no financial help as she gets State Pension. So far we're managing ok on our own without extra help but quite a few of our neighbours require daily carer visits. It's good to know such assistance is available if ultimately required due to increasing age and worsening conditions.
Best wishes.
