Show more "Our high-quality housing for older people allows residents to live comfortably, securely, and independently whilst in the knowledge that help is there if they need it. At Hartshorne Court, we offer purpose-built rental properties for people over the age of 60 or over 55 if you are in receipt of PIP (Personal Independence Payment) or DLA (Disability Living Allowance). Each flat consists of a kitchen, lounge, bathroom and bedroom with a 24-hour alarm service if ever you have an emergency. Hartshorne Court offers a wide range of facilities, including a communal lounge & kitchen, communal garden, an on-site laundry, communal parking bays, a computer room and a guest room for visitors. There are various activities going on in the scheme each week including art classes, computer sessions and exercise groups

The flats are located close to Dawley High Street which has a supermarket, post office, cafes, pubs, dentist and GP practice. The scheme is set back off the road in a quiet position.
