Older and Wiser - a practical guide to commissioning, developing and operating age friendly homes

Launched today, this new guide by The Housing Forum looks to address society’s failure to provide suitable homes for the ageing population by setting out a range of practical suggestions with 16 case studies demonstrating diverse solutions and inspired thinking. 

With contributions from the Housing LIN, the guide shows how housing associations, local councils and private developers who may be looking to develop specialist housing for the first time, can deliver greater numbers and a wider range of accommodation to meet the needs of older people. Providing better and more suitable housing provision will enable people to live more independently for longer.
