Accommodation For Retired People
The Ogilvie Charities were founded in 1887 and run four sheltered housing schemes, two in Suffolk and two in Essex. These create a caring and supportive atmosphere for residents living independently in the self contained accommodation. Ogilvie Homes and Ogilvie Almshouses are in Aldringham near Leiston, Suffolk. Charles May House and Estella House are situated in central Colchester, Essex.
We are currently accepting applications for accommodation at all of our sites.
