(1) Excludes Private Sector dwellings, for which accurate figures are not available
(2) Includes estimate for Scottish Borders
 
A. Sheltered Housing. Dwellings located at ground, first floor or above where a lift is available. The design is based on the standards for general needs housing with additional safety features and a warden service with an emergency call system.
B. Very Sheltered Housing. This generally has all the features of sheltered housing but will usually have special bathroom facilities. In addition, a greater level of care and support is offered through the service of extra wardens, full time carers, domiciliary assistance and the provision of meals.
C. Sheltered Wheelchair Housing. The design is adapted to wheelchair standards but also has the features listed above for sheltered housing and is for older people confined to wheelchairs rather than other such disabled people.
