Elizabeth Close has its own Scheme Manager. The Scheme Manager’s role is to keep an "unobtrusive eye" on the well being of residents and to ensure they receive the help and support they might need. Residents' privacy and independence is respected and they are encouraged to maintain their ties and activities outside of the scheme.

There are 22 one bedroom flats and 5 two bedroom flats at Elizabeth Close. Elizabeth Close was recently refurbished to a very high standard.

All properties benefit from modern kitchens and bathrooms, many have a walk-in shower. In addition, all have central heating, double glazed windows, high standards of insulation and a “call system”. This is operational 24 hours a day, connecting you directly to the Scheme Manager, or the Central Control facility operated by Welwyn Hatfield Council and their Mobile Warden Service.

Facilities at the scheme include:
- a lift serving all floors
- a door entry facility
- an onsite laundry
- car parking
- storage for motorised buggies
- a fire alarm system
- very well maintained grounds

Residents also have use of the Lambert Room. The Lambert Room provides a meeting place for the social activities that the residents organise on a regular basis.

The rents and service charges at Elizabeth Close are kept as low as possible. As at April 2008 they were around £436 per month for a one bedroom flat, and £459 per month for a two bedroom flat.
