The Flats

The almshouse flats provide accommodation on two floors and are unfurnished dwellings. The aim is to provide accommodation in a setting which allows residents to come and go as they please.

Residents are encouraged to make friends, sharing in a social life through use of the communal facilities. There is an emergency telephone call system in each flat so that in case of need, such as sudden illness or after a fall, residents are able to obtain help quickly.

However, residents must be able and willing to live independently. Subject to this, it is the Trustees' policy that residents are normally able to remain at Gallard's as long as they wish.
