I dont think get a housing association because i own my flat outright.. im pretty sure you cant get on the council list if you own a home .. i long to love next door to old people! im 53 so too you ng  for over 50 places 

Hi

im sorry to hear of the problems you have had but agree with the others that you have made the right decision to not buy the bungalow

We live in sheltered housing run by a Housing Association.  There are 33 individual flats and communal areas with a 100 ft lounge.  We’ve had some great get togethers

The properties are rented only and the rents are very reasonable.  Everything is included in the rent, all the maintenance and repairs.  Repairs are carried out quickly.  We have a laundry room which has Miele professional washers and dryers, unlimited use included.

The HA has properties all over England. 

Anyone 55+ can have one or any age if they are disabled.  You don’t need to go through the council, you can apply directly, details on the website.

There are waiting lists for the most desirable areas such as the Isle of Wight/other coastal areas but inland the lists are shorter

If you think this might suit you PM me and I will send you the details 

That's exactly what I was thinking, @faerielight and I hope you look into this. People with disabilities are often allowed in to otherwise restricted waiting lists so there's nothing to lose by investigating the possibilities in your preferred locations. As you're over 50, too, there could well be scope for you to join the Council list, even though you're a homeowner because you're struggling to manage in your flat, struggling to find suitable accommodation to buy and need additional support. Really, for the sake of a couple of phone calls, you've nothing to lose and potentially, as @Murphybear says, much to gain, most importantly, peace of mind.

Our HA celebrated its 60th birthday this year.  We got together with 3 other local courts and had a huge party (the HA paid for it all).  We had entertainment and were told we were going to have “surprise guests”.  They turned out to be a donkey, a goat and 2 bunnies all from animal rescues.  The goat and donkey were allowed in the big lounge, fortunately no accidents . It was wonderful.  I’m planning this years Christmas party, should be a rave.  We’ve been here 6 years and have made some good friends.
