	Part Exchange	Popular device used by many developers in the ordinary housing market but also in selling new retirement property. Normally offered when the house being sold is less valuable than the house being bought..
	Pendant	Small button operated transmitter which when pressed alerts a scheme manager that help is required..
	Pensionable Age	Sixty-five for men and sixty for women..
	Personal Care	Help with getting dressed, bathing, eating etc.
	Pets	Often if you have a current pet you are allowed to take it with you but not get another one. Sometimes a question of reasonableness. The lease will normally have a clause referring to this..
	Power of Attorney	This means giving power to someone else to make decisions affecting your well-being. Regulated by law so that both parties are aware of rights and obligations.

	Pull Cords	When pulled alerts the scheme manager or monitoring centre that someone needs help. Fairly unsightly (usually with orange hand grasp) and not as good as pendants worn on a wrist. Constant age reminder and sometimes difficult to distinguish with bathroom lights..
	Purchasers Information Pack	The NHBC Sheltered Housing Code requires an information pack to be given to all purchasers of retirement housing before a property is sold. The pack should contain details of the management organisation and a detailed breakdown of the services provided. Obviously not as important as the lease or other legally binding document. .
