What is Retired Living?

Retired Living Schemes are aimed at people who’re over 60 years of age. They

are self contained, purpose built flats with their own front doors, kitchens and

bathrooms. They are available for both couples or single people and offer inde-

pendence with support if and when needed. They provide good quality accom-

modation that has comfort and security, and provides 24 hour support for resi-

dents with the provision of a pendant in case the resident has a fall or becomes

ill.

Honeypot Meadow consists of twenty one bungalows each having their own

garden. Tenants at Honeypot have access to all communal facilities at Olland

Court, including their social events.

Olland Court consists of twenty two flats with a large communal garden.

There is a communal room located on the ground floor at Olland Court where

gay, a quick ten minute walk into the town centre. Bungay offers a wide range

Your Scheme Manager

My name is Jackie Balaam I have lived at Honeypot Meadow, Olland

Court for thirteen years, supporting residents to live independently

in their own homes. I will keep in contact with the residents ac-

cording to their preference either visiting daily or weekly. I ensure

that emergency equipment is tested regularly. I respond to emer-

gencies and liaise with appropriate agencies.

Fire Protection

Honeypot Meadow have smoke detectors in place

which are tested regularly to ensure they are in

good working condition.

Olland Court has smoke detectors linked into a fire

panel that can identify the location of the fire. There

is a fire box on the wall containing information for

the fire brigade to access all areas of the court. The

residents have instructions on the wall inside their

front doors to remind them what they should do in

the event of a fire. The fire assembly point is located

on the corner at the entrance of Olland Court. There

are seven fire points located around the scheme

that are tested on a rotational basis once a week.
