Hi
I'm translating a document containing lots of short descriptions of building projects, and have come across "Elleve omsorgsboliger med tilhørende personalbase". My suspicion is that this is something a bit more specific than just 'staff area', but I am not sure what. Any help appreciated!
Many thanks

Staff accommodation
'Staff accommodation' covers a single scheme manager's office, or a contiguous multi-staff office and rest room or a separate building with or without staff sleeping rooms.
The first reference details what may be required.

Comment: "Many thanks! I think this is the most internationally and immediately understandable, which is what I needed, even if other options would maybe have suited for a specific audience."

scheme manager's room
Re sheltered housing: "In the United Kingdom most commonly it refers to grouped housing such as a block or "scheme" of flats or bungalows with a scheme manager or "officer"; traditionally the manager has lived on-site although this is not always the case these days".
I was going to suggest "scheme manager's office" but as it's not clear whether the scheme manager will be living on-site or not, "room" would cover either eventuality.

On-site house manager/warden's office
A family member has lived in sheltered housing. In one place there was an on-site warden and the other a house manager, so I think you can just take your pick :)

That should cover most eventualities.
