Albany House

St Ann's, LHA Support Services

Description of Scheme

Albany House includes a mix of 71 one bed and one bed with study, social rent extra care apartments. The complex also includes a new community café and hairdressers, as well as a communal lounge and activity rooms.

The land was provided by Nottingham City Council for £1 on a 125yr lease. As part of the project LHA-ASRA also built a 60 space day care centre adjacent to Albany House. This was funded by Nottingham City Council and replaces an existing Nottingham City Council centre that no longer meets modern standards.

Albany House also includes a number of innovative green initiatives, including whole house heat recovery systems, rainwater harvesting, bio-diverse green roof and the building is also connected to the district heating system.

Where Is It?

Albany House is a new development by social housing group LHA-ASRA and is on the former site of Welland Court self-contained flats for the elderly, just off Carlton Road, St Ann's.

Residents Information

"I'm close to my family in St Ann's and I'm really enjoying life again.

My flat has a lovely view out onto the garden at the front of Albany House, and I can watch the birds nesting in the tree outside my window, which considering I'm living in the inner city is a real bonus. Where I was living before I moved to Albany House I was stuck in just one room. Now I can go up on the roof balcony and enjoy the sun in my wheelchair, or out into the community garden. We also have a day centre attached to Albany House so I get to meet up with my friends as well.

What I'm really looking forward to is getting to know more of the residents. There's a community café and hairdressers on the ground floor of the building and we've got a lovely communal sitting room, so I'm sure I'll soon be making new friends."

Relevant Local Strategy

This relates to older people and their housing options, whether this be enabling them to maintain independence in their own home for as long as possible, or a move to sheltered housing or a nursing home.

The City Wide Older Person's Strategy aims to ensure that all older citizens are able to maximise their quality of life and that the city benefits from their economic and social inclusion and participation.
