New Housing LIN blog looks at health care benefits of housing with care

The Housing LIN’s latest blog is by Chandra McGowan, Chief Executive of Whitley Homes Trust.

Drawing on the recent report by the Housing LIN and Southampton City Council which demonstrated the savings to the health service created by extra care services, the blog highlights the experience of residents of Whitley Homes Trust.

As well as financial savings the blog also highlights the importance of quality of life and independence in measuring outcomes, and argues that housing with care provides this to residents.
