Hello @shelly1 and welcome to the community, thanks for introducing yourself.

We can't provide sheltered accommodation here unfortunately, however we can signpost you towards resources that explain the subject in further detail. Have you been in touch with your local council? Please see:

• This Gov.uk page that explains how to apply for sheltered or supported housing
• This Age UK guide about sheltered housing
• This NHS page about housing options for older and disabled people

It concerns me to read that you have been the victim of abuse from your husband, can I ask is that ongoing or in the past? Are you safe from the abuse now? What happened?

Have you ever disclosed or reported what you went through to the authorities? If you haven't but would like to, you could contact 101 to make a report, or fill out this online form I have sent you an email from community@scope.org.uk with further details, and we could help you with making the report if you wanted us to, please respond to our email and let us know.

Below, you can also find some resources that you could use to access support for what you have been through:

• The Refuge helpline
• This Gov.uk page that contains information about how you can get help as a victim of abuse
• Support Line, who have a helpline number and email address on this page

As previously mentioned, please see the email we have sent and get back to us, and thanks again for posting on the community.
