Do you qualify to be a resident?
If you currently live within the boundaries of the old Bedworth Urban District Council then you do qualify. You also need to be capable of leading an independent life.
The application form that we ask you to fill in demands a lot of detailed information about you and your present housing in order that we can help those in greatest need. It is our objective to provide accommodation for elderly men and women with limited income who are resident in the Bedworth area.
Every application is assessed on need which may be financial, but Trustees will also take into account those who may be homeless, subject to anti-social behaviour, lonely, isolated or experiencing other difficulties. Every application is given a priority listing which means that it is not a question of first come, first serve. Itt is possible that applicants may remain on the list for a long time. The Trustees take great care with every application. They are acutely aware that their decision will not only affect the future wellbeing on the applicant but also the balance of our Almshouse community.
Applicants should be capable of an independent life and be prepared to move if this is no longer possible.
Accommodation may be offered to successful applicants in the Nicholas Chamberlaine Almshouse depending on availability. We regret that a request for accommodation in a specific flat cannot be considered.
If an offer is made to you and you do not accept, your priority on the list will change. However, if there are exceptional circumstances the Trustees may use their discretion.
