Living in an almshouse boosts life expectancy, study finds

The Almshouse Association has been commissioning research with Bayes Business School, London, to find out whether almshouses have an effect on the longevity of residents. 

The final report, Almshouse Longevity Study - Can Living in an Almshouse Lead to a Longer Life?, suggests that living in almshouses can reduce the negative impact on health and social wellbeing which is commonly experienced by the older population in lower socioeconomic groups.
