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.

Specialist forms of housing with care are becoming increasingly popular in the United Kingdom, largely as a result of the ageing of the population and the relative wealth of the latest generation of older people. Retirement villages and extra care housing are two models of provision that have seen particularly spectacular growth. This is partly because in many ways they are perceived to promote government agendas for increasing independence and wellbeing for older people. They also aim to meet older people's aspirations for a good quality of life in their retirement years and to live somewhere they feel they belong. Many such housing developments are marketed as 'communities of like minded people', offering security, peace of mind, a range of facilities and new opportunities for friendship and social interaction. This important book investigates changing concepts and experiences of community across the lifecourse and into older age and how they play out in housing with care settings. An overview of how the housing with care sector has developed, both in the UK and internationally, is provided. The book emphasizes the central importance of a sense of community for older people's quality of life and explores the impact of a range of factors including social networks, inclusive activities, diversity and the built environment. The book will be of particular interest to students in the fields of gerontology, social policy, housing, planning, the built environment and community development. It will also appeal to academics, policy makers, practitioners, service providers and researchers, both in the UK and other countries with similar housing with care options, including the USA, Australia and New Zealand.

This book embeds the principles of how we should approach the design of future housing for an ageing population, reminding us that this is not about ‘other people’, but about each of us. This book focuses on anticipating the needs and aspirations of the next generation of older people, and touches on what this implies for our communities, our towns and our cities, as well as for our living spaces. It will look at how well-designed buildings can facilitate the provision of care, support independence and wellbeing while providing companionship and stimulation. It will also examine how to ensure that buildings remain flexible over a long life. Dealing mainly with new-build, but with a section on adaptation and refurbishment, this book sets out the underlying design principles that should be applied and the early decisions that must be taken.

This paper from ILC-UK laments the refusal of many people aged over 65 to recognise they are ageing, aggravated by a misinterpretation of 'ageing in place' in the UK. The latter has seen retirement housing regarded by policymakers and many potential customers as a place for those with significant health and care needs -- and thereby exacerbated the sector's poor image. We have also been distracted by arguments around under-occupancy marred by ageist overtones. The paper says: Asking older people alone to downsize is ageist: we should be discouraging under-occupation through life. Older people are often in denial about the realities of ageing -- and therefore what downsizing and specialist housing could offer them. Older people will move if they are offered housing options that will improve their quality of life and potentially improve their health and social care outcomes in later years. Local authorities have seen retirement housing as largely for those with existing care needs, exacerbating the sector's image problem. We need to build more homes if we want to encourage downsizing -- we could make things worse for first-time buyers if they and older people chase similar smaller homes.

In the early-1980s, the ten million people of retirement age in the UK figured prominently among the disadvantaged and deprived. They were heavily over-represented in sub-standard housing and among those in most need of support from the personal social services. One form of social provision which gained rapidly in popularity in the 1960s and 1970s was sheltered housing. It was seen to combine housing with care; provided support while fostering independence; and gave scope for flexibility and experimentation in adapting schemes to local circumstances. By the late 1970s hundreds of schemes were administered, and they were occupied by half a million elderly tenants. Sheltered housing was called ‘the greatest breakthrough in the housing scene since the war’. Extravagant expectations were aroused, and sheltered housing was regarded by some as the solution to all manner of complex problems. Taking the country as a whole, however, relatively little was known about the numbers of schemes and where they were located; who owned them and how they were managed; the aims and assumptions of those who provided or advocated sheltered housing; how the schemes functioned and whether they achieved what they were set up to do; the role, experience and attitudes of wardens; what kinds of people lived in sheltered housing, their history, and how they became tenants; their assessment of the scheme; and much else. The Leeds study, on which this book is based, originally published in 1983, was the most comprehensive and detailed to have been conducted into sheltered housing. It evoked widespread interest in Britain and abroad at the time. It sought to answer some of the important questions about the growth and proliferation of sheltered housing, to evaluate sheltered housing from different points of view – including those of tenants, and to consider the scope for future development. While sheltered housing is the focal topic of the book it should be viewed in the broader context of social policy, administration, professional practice and client experience. The book describes in detail an innovatory and evolving form of social provision and, in doing so, illuminates the operation and impact of policy in action at several levels – from the policy-maker to the consumer, from the organisation of policy to its object. There was significant evidence from the study that many tenants were provided with a service which was not the one they sought, or even needed, but they were given what the agency happened to have – or made – available. Among other topics, the book examines sheltered housing as a response to, or reflection of, myths and prejudices about ageing. It discusses whether elderly people should be compelled to move from familiar surroundings late in life – and how they cope when they do move. The usefulness or otherwise of alarm systems is assessed – with conclusions that throw considerable doubt on their value or reliability. The evolution and modifications taking place in sheltered housing are reported on and the scope for future initiatives is discussed.
