We offer a range of homes which give you the option of a supported lifestyle. If you’re aged 50 or above and looking for a safe, secure home that also allows you to maintain your freedom, we can help.
Our independent living homes include a range of options which provide security and flexibility, and help you to connect with a friendly community.
They offer generous and comfortable living spaces along with attractive gardens, with qualified and friendly staff helping to create close-knit communities. The properties that are available range from one-bed and two-bed apartments to studio flats, helping you to live in a home that’s the right size for you.
If your mobility, health or age increase the likelihood that you will need ongoing support, our flexicare homes can provide the added reassurance of having trained staff at hand for assistance, whilst still allowing you to live your life the way you choose. Our schemes have a 24-hour emergency call-out system and secure door entry, to make sure you are always able to reach someone who can help.
We also offer the option of personalised support. Depending on your needs, our volunteers can visit or call daily to further offer support for people who may be unwell or require more complex assistance.
We have 12 schemes in total across Watford and Abbots Langley, including two flexicare schemes – Dale Court and Rutland Lodge. They are conveniently located, with access to public transport, shops and amenities nearby.

If you would like to apply for an independent living or flexicare home, there are two routes you can take:
1. If you live in Watford now and have done so for five out of the last six years, and you are 50 years of age or older, you can register for housing at watford.homeconnections.org.uk. Once registered, you will be able to bid on any of the properties we have advertised on the website.
2. If you are between 50 and 59 years of age and would like to move to Watford to be near family or friends; or you live in Watford but have not been here for more than five out of the last six years, then you can apply to us directly. Please note, however, that we may not be able to offer you the same amount of choice as those people who have registered with Home Connections.
Once you have applied, our officers will visit you in your home to complete a home assessment. This will help us to find out more about the type of accommodation and service you need in order to ensure that our services will be suitable for you.
Please note that we cannot accept applications from homeowners.
To apply, please fill out this form and send it to us at 59 Clarendon Road, Watford, WD17 1LA.
To find out more about our services or to ask any questions about your application, email us at enquiries@wcht.org.uk or call us on 0800 2182247.
