Moorview Supported Independent Living Community

Moorview offers rented, unfurnished flats and apartments for people aged 55 and over. Tenants may be able to get their rent covered in full or part by housing benefit. Tenants live in their own homes and can choose as much support or as little as they wish to have from The Fed, and can use the facilities at Heathlands Village.

The Fed offers 31 unfurnished flats and apartments for rent by people aged 55 and over. Our tenants live in their own homes and choose how much support they want, to help them live independently.

As a tenant you can use all the Heathlands Village facilities including the restaurant, cafe, shop, laundry and hair salon. You can also take part in the Village’s busy residents’ activity schedule.

Tenants run their own social activity programme with meals out, cinema and theatre trips and a weekly coffee afternoon.

You can have support from the Moorview team with personal care such as getting dressed, showering, remembering to take your medication, help with paying your bills, looking after your home, keeping in touch with your family and friends and so on.

Moorview staff are on hand everyday till 8 pm if you need general support. For added peace of mind, there is an emergency call system in the event that you are taken ill or have a fall.

Financial help towards your rent and support.

As a tenant you may be able to have your rent covered in full or in part by Housing Benefit.

In addition you may be able to get funding for personal care and general support from your Local Council. Our CAST team can advise you about this.

Moorview is also home to The Fed's Bliss Bathing Service.
