Sheltered Schemes

Southway Housing and Applications

Southway provides independent living accommodation for older people (aged 55+) at Grove Lane in Didsbury and Holland Court in Chorlton. The housing is specifically tailored for older and/or vulnerable people and is called "sheltered housing".

Each Scheme has a dedicated Age Friendly Delivery Officer who manages the building, and keeps in regular contact with the residents taking into account their health & wellbeing needs. Where necessary we will signpost to and liaise with relevant health and social care providers.

We do not take direct applications for our Manchester-based sheltered schemes. Instead, they are advertised on Manchester Move.

  • Holland Court

    Holland Court consists of twenty units in a residential block, and is open to residents aged 55 and over.

    Holland Court is located in the heart of Chorlton Village, just a 5-minute walk to Morrisons and the Metrolink station. In 2011, Southway Housing completed a transformation project, bringing the scheme up to date and creating larger living spaces for its residents. It is a popular scheme with a garden, lounge and small communal garden.


    Within this Scheme we offer activities for older residents to enjoy including Coffee Mornings, Yoga, Armchair Exercises, Hairdressing Sessions as well as talks from Local Groups and Services.

  • Grove Lane
    Grove Lane/South Road consists of twenty six cottage flats with a Community Facility, a Lounge and an Office on site. The Community Centre has become a hive of activity, those who may have previously experienced isolation and loneliness are now thriving with the help of the Scheme. 
     
    Activities here include Armchair Exercises, Tai Chi, Coffee Mornings, Luncheon Club, Bingo, IT Courses, Music, Gardening, Poetry and a Book Club.

  • Tameside Properties

    Grosvenor Gardens is a very small sheltered scheme located on High Street in Stalybridge. Due to the location, we do not advertise this scheme on Manchester Move – instead we have our own waiting list.

    Emmanuel Court is located on Henrietta Street, a short walk from the town centre and Ikea. This scheme is due to be redeveloped, bringing over 40 new apartments for people over the age of 55. There is no timescale for the completion of this development, but if you would like to register your interest, please get in touch. You can find out more, by contacting us on 0161 448 4200 and ask to speak to the Age Friendly Delivery Team.
