My husband and I both need support.Will we need to pay the servicecharge twice?There will be a small additional charge

if two people live in the apartment.

For more information about charges

please refer to our Key Facts booklet.

Can I bring my pet?We will make this decision on an

individual basis but will expect tenants

to care for their own pets.

What happens if I run out of money?Before you apply for an apartment, we

advise that you speak to an independent

financial advisor to help you understand

the full financial implications, (please see

page 17 for a list of organisations).

Jewish Care expects you to continue to

meet your financial obligations while

living at Selig Court and we reserve the

right to end your tenancy if you are

unable to do this.

If your circumstances do change, then we

will help you identify your options before

any action is taken.

Can I still live in my apartment if myhealth deteriorates?We will always try to make it possible for

you to live in your apartment, although we

cannot provide 24 hour care to individual

tenants. We have many links with other

care organisations and together with you

and your family, we will work out how to

provide the right support for you in your

home, wherever possible.

Jewish Care has a dementia care home on

the Maurice and Vivienne Wohl Campus,

which can be accessed if required.

Your questions answered

What happens if a tenant isbecoming a nuisance?All tenants must adhere to their tenancy

agreement, which includes a code of

conduct.

If any problems do occur, Jewish Care will

ask tenants (or guests) to modify their

actions, in keeping with their agreement.

As a very final resort, Jewish Care reserves

the right to ask tenants to leave if their

behaviour continues to cause a

significant nuisance to other people.

Who can live with me?It is up to you who you would like to live

with you, although the main leaseholder

must meet the eligibility criteria (as set

out on page 12). When, or if, the main

leaseholder leaves the apartment, any

other tenant in the apartment must also

meet the eligibility criteria. If they do not

meet the criteria then Jewish Care

reserves the right to ask them to leave.

Can I have my own private carer?Yes you can, although utilising the on-site

care and support will ensure that staff at

Selig Court can offer a holistic approach

to your needs and wellbeing. People who

have moved to Selig Court have made

the successful transition from private

carers in the community to using our

experienced care staff to support them.

This coordinated approach ensures that

the full benefits of living at Selig Court

can be enjoyed by all our tenants. If you

do use your own carer, then you will

still have to pay the full service and

support charge.
