Description
In an ageing society, where people over 65 will outnumber those aged under 16 by 2014, one of the main challenges for policy makers is to provide a range of housing options that recognise the increasing need for support as the population becomes older, without simply about providing housing settings in which older people can be cared for. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the most recent evidence related to new and emerging models of housing with care for later life. It examines and contrasts existing knowledge about a range of different models of housing and care for later life, including fixed-site housing in which older people live communally. It also looks at work about innovative schemes providing more flexible services than traditional sheltered housing schemes, including the UK's first Continuing Care Retirement Community, developed by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, and the recent developments of 'extra care' housing schemes that cater for 'fit and frail' older people. Housing with care for later life draws out key messages for services providers and commissioners on how best to meet the housing and care needs of older people in an ageing society.
