This case study describes The Manors, which was a traditional sheltered housing scheme. A partnership between Milecastle Housing, Northumberland Care Trust and Tynedale District Council resulted in a successful bid to the DH extra Care Housing Fund to de-commission the existing building and replace it with an Extra Care Scheme. The report describes the de-commissioning including: the DH Bid; arrangements with the district council; options available within Milecastle; managing the closure; consultation with residents; allowances and payments; the building. The appendix comprises "questions and answers about the Manors" - an information sheet produced for residents and "The Manors decanting checklist" - a form to be filled in for each resident to help with their move.
