South Staffordshire Housing Association said wardens could work an extra 1,000 hours a year and go from five days a week to seven.
The current service delivers around 20,000 hours of support each year through a Monday-Friday service across 13 sheltered schemes.
It could go up to at least 21,000 hours through a seven days a weeks, all year round service.
