Our Tenants

We currently have 320 tenants living in our six developments across North West and North East London, with this number due to increase in 2012 when we open our seventh project in Bushey. Our tenants cover a very broad spectrum ranging from their early 20’s and encompassing an array of different disabilities including multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s Chorea, cerebral palsy, rheumatoid arthritis as well as sight related disabilities and those disabilities that come with age.

Having their own front door to their own apartment means that our tenants can enjoy the best of both worlds - the privacy that this affords them whilst also benefiting from the wide range of activities and warm community atmosphere that prevails in the attractive communal lounges and beautiful, well-maintained gardens.

By enabling our tenants to live independently in this way we transform not just their lives but the lives of their families too, as they can relax safe in the knowledge that support is always on hand if required, from our own resident house managers, 365 days a year.The fact that this support comes from a friendly face and can be summoned within minutes at the touch of a button is vital to the peace of mind not just of our tenants but of their families as well who are also enabled to get on with their lives without constant worry.

Thus a key to one of our apartments is genuinely the key to independence for all concerned, just a few of whom are shown below:

We are a traditional Jewish family with one difference - our 27 year old son has cerebral palsy. Five years ago Joel moved into Aztec House and this changed all our lives. It has given us peace of mind knowing that our son is in a safe environment where there is always someone available to assist. The future no longer looks bleak and, against all I was told, Joel can be independent to a large degree.
