A New Manifesto for Housing in an Ageing Society

With the General Election due next year the Older People’s Housing Champion’s Network has produced its manifesto on housing in an ageing society. 

This calls for

·         Future proofing housing for an ageing society

·         Engaging older people far more in the planning and design of new homes & neighbourhoods

·         Promoting a greater choice of specialist and general housing for older people

·         Truly integrating housing into the planning of health and care services

·         Providing rapid access to affordable repairs and adaptations with practical help such as handyperson’s services and Home Improvement Agencies and

·         Providing more independent, impartial information and advice about housing, care and finance options.
