Scheme Managers
Each scheme has a dedicated manager who is responsible for the day-to-day running of the scheme. This includes:
- Maintaining the buildings;
- Providing advice and support to the tenants on the services available - both from the council and from other partners;
- Responding to emergencies;
- Making daily contact with residents (this is optional for the residents).
The scheme managers are not permitted to:
- Provide nursing or day-to-day personal care;
- Give drugs or medicines;
- Collect shopping, pensions, prescriptions or pay rents;
- Be responsible for tenants' valuables.
Cleaning and caretaking services
Each scheme has an appointed cleaner or cleaning contractor who maintains the communal areas and a caretaking team that carries out routine maintenance, decorating and specialised cleaning of the communal areas.
Emergency support
Help is available for residents 24 hours a day in emergency situations. The scheme manager can be contacted during the day, and an emergency alarm service, linked to Ipswich HEARS, is available out of hours.
