sheltered housing
Supervised residential accommodation
Sheltered housing is residential accommodation designed for elderly or disabled people who can live independently but may need some support.
Units typically include private living spaces with access to shared facilities and an on-site warden or emergency call system.
Common in British English; Americans more often say assisted living or senior housing.
