New Housing LIN guest blog by Maarit Heinonen-Smith on vertical retirement villages

Housing-with-care providers have begun re-evaluating their future plans based on lesson learnt during the COVID-19 pandemic, with many changes in service offerings, building designs and technology.

In this Housing LIN guest blog Maarit Heinonen-Smith, Associate Director at IBI Group and Lead for Retirement Living & Senior Care, suggests that inspiration for new ideas can be sought from places such as North America where more service offer models and building designs are available, including vertical retirement villages, are becoming increasingly popular.

Maarit explains what vertical retirement villages are, how they cater for the needs of people with dementia and higher care needs, and what this looks like for the UK.

Maarit will be speaking at our next HAPPI Hour 'Compassionate Neighbourhoods: communities that care' on Tuesday 20 July. Book you place now.
