Independent for longer – new report exposes desire for independence and community in later life

This report by Anchor looks at the changing nature of communities and independence particularly in a post pandemic environment and represents a clear opportunity to ensure housing forms a major part of the solution to address issues faced by our ageing population and the wider society.

This report’s key findings highlight the important role older people’s housing can play for all areas of society, helping older people to fulfil their expectations of later life, live healthier, more independent lives for longer and contribute to local communities whilst enhancing economic growth and the prospects for younger generations and families.
