You can book a guest room at a sheltered housing scheme as a friend or relative of a resident.
You need to check availability and pricing with the scheme manager. You can then pay for the booking online.
You should also familiarise yourself with the guest room rules and regulations.
Rules and regulations

3. A guest can occupy the guest room for up to two weeks in any booking and must not re-book within two months of the original booking.
