Programme
The focus of the meeting is 'Creating housing choices for life' and is one of a series of regional seminars that the Housing LIN is delivering in partnership with the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) to explore the role of retirement housing in developing a better offer for older people.
We will be drawing on recent work by the University of Northumbria on sheltered housing, latest national policy perspectives and examples of local operational delivery to aid your learning and improvement. In addition, this rich mix of content and findings from all the seminars will feed into a forthcoming publication from the CIH/Housing LIN.
Agenda
- 10.00 Introduction and Housing LIN updates - Jeremy Porteus
- 10.30 Creating Housing Choices for Life - exploring the role of retirement housing in developing a better offer for older people, with a focus on service delivery - Sarah Davis, Chartered Institute of Housing
- 10.45 Short break
- 11.00 In North Tyneside a major investment in sheltered housing, commencing in 2013, will result in new build or refurbishment. Schemes will have in-built design features and assistive technology to support tenants as they age and develop disabilities, sensory problems and chronic conditions. These schemes have 'sheltered housing officers' (SHO) (previously wardens) whose job is to manage the scheme and help arrange any services tenants need. A service development programme commenced in 2012 for transformation of the service delivery model from a reactive model to one that is preventative and enabling. Future challenges involve the transition of services from sheltered housing to extra care provision will also be highlighted with a view to promoting discussion and debate about the process of managing change, developing access criteria and workforce development. - Christine McMillan North Tyneside and Glenda Cook Northumbria University
- 12.00 Derwentside Homes Sheltered Housing Strategy - Angela - Hodgson, Older Persons Services & Communication Manager
- 13.00 Buffet lunch
