Show more "The Charity owns 45 one bedroom, unfurnished bungalows and flats at 7 locations in Kendal. Some are situated in the town centre whilst the remainder are within walking distance of the town with easy access to regular bus services.The properties are all well maintained and refurbished, to a high standard, for new occupants. We take advice from Occupational Therapists and Social Services to adapt our properties to meet the needs of the individual occupant, to ensure that if they become less mobile they can continue to live independently, in their own home, for as long as possible.
The aim of the Trustees is, whenever possible, to provide housing for people from Kendal currently living in social housing properties which are now too large for their needs, thereby allowing the release of these properties to local housing associations to house families on the waiting list. The occupants must live independently, however the Trustees do visit them on a regular basis to check on their wellbeing and actively encourage a community spirit.
Vacancies are advertised in the Westmorland Gazette. Anyone who would like further details or wishes to be considered for one of the almshouses should contact the Honorary Secretary, Marilyn Waiting, by phone or email." Show less
