Refurbishment work on a supported shelter house for older people has been completed.

The seven bed property is located on Hamilton Road and is managed by Abbeyfield & Wesley Housing Association on behalf of Choice Housing Ireland Ltd.

Geraldine Gilpin, Chief Executive of Abbeyfield & Wesley Housing Association, said: "We were delighted to work in partnership with Choice, owners of the Hamilton Road property, to provide additional supported sheltered housing in the Bangor area. The property has been significantly redeveloped, both internally and externally, to provide accommodation and services for seven Abbeyfield & Wesley residents in a family setting. The house is Abbeyfield & Wesley's fourth in the Bangor area."

Michael McDonnell, Group Chief Executive of Choice said: "This is an important day for us and for our new residents at Hamilton Road. We believe everyone should have a good home and that older citizens should have every opportunity to live independently in the community. This development is a fine example of what we are trying to achieve.

"We're pleased to partner with Abbeyfield & Wesley Housing Association and value the support from the Department for Communities and the Housing Executive in transforming this site."
