Floating Warden Support
Floating Warden Support
Floating Warden Support can be provided to older tenants living in any Council accommodation, (apart from sheltered schemes which have integrated warden call systems), who would like to remain independent in their own homes.
We provide a lifeline unit, installed by a Floating Support Warden, which plugs into the home telephone point and personal alarm pendant to be worn around the neck or clipped onto clothing.
We offer two levels of service dependant on your support needs.
- Level 1- a monthly welfare visit by a Floating Support Warden and emergency response
- Level 2 a weekly welfare visit by a Floating Support Warden and emergency response.
A team of professional, friendly staff at the Call centre answer the calls and arrange the most appropriate help depending on the nature of your emergency or problem.
The Floating Support Service is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
This is flexible support and if your personal circumstances change, the Floating Support Warden will carry out reassessment of needs and support requirements.
There is a charge for these levels of service, funding is available for people in receipt of Housing Benefit or if you are on a limited income you could apply for a Financial Assessment.
