Sheltered Residents: ‘Bring Wardens Back’

Almost all sheltered housing residents would not have moved into their home if they had thought there was any threat to its resident warden service, a survey has found. Sheltered Housing UK, which represents sheltered housing residents and carried out the poll, found all the people surveyed thought a site-specific warden was necessary. The poll, which canvassed around 300 people, found 91 per cent of respondents said they would not have moved in if they had known the service would be dropped.
