Housing schemes for older people
Dartford offers a range of housing services for older people, including housing scheme accommodation where support is available to residents aged 60 and over to provide additional assistance with daily living tasks. The Council has 11 housing schemes for older people within the borough.
Kent County Council (KCC) also provide extra care housing for people aged 55 and over who require some care and support but would like to maintain their independence in their own home. There are two extra care housing schemes in Dartford. The Council is able to nominate eligible persons from the housing register to these properties. The schemes provide additional on-site facilities such as a restaurant and visiting hairdresser.
