What is Sheltered Housing

On the 29th November 2013 the housing association that runs the scheme my mother is in said on its website;

All of our residents enjoy daily visits Monday to Friday from the scheme staff to make sure they have no general problems. We believe that the decision to move into sheltered accommodation should not be seen as a loss of independence, more like a move away from isolation and towards independent living with vital support available when necessary. - See more at: http://www.circle.org.uk/roddons/your-home/sheltered-housing#sthash.Gvi04Nmq.dpuf

Yesterday 9th January 2015 I was sitting with Mum when the warden told her that now she will only get a visit on Monday and Friday. Over the past few years that scheme together with many others has gone from having a resident warden to a mobile warden, from home visits to phone calls to check they are okay. And now to this two visits a week, only a week or so ago she was told it would be two visits and a phone call a week, that has changed again to this two visits a week and you have to wonder if they will go as well soon. 

Makes me wonder if sheltered now means you have a pull cord if anything happens.
