#Jeremytalks (opens new window)
Welcome to #Jeremytalks (opens new window) and our must-read weekly bulletin, HLINks (opens new window), week-ending Friday, 3 September 2021, the first after our August news break.
If you missed some of the thought-leadership pieces we published over the summer, you can find them here:
- A Home for Life: Understanding liminal Space as a place to just be, by Helen Brown
- What dementia readiness actually looks like, by Yasmeen Hussein
- If this building is still standing in a year’s time, I will be blown away, by Megan Reynolds
- Laying the Foundations of Smart Care Technology, by Christian Geisselmann
And to coincide with the NHF’s #StartsatHome (opens new window) day today and the focus on supported housing, we are also delighted to announce our newest #InspirationalAchievement featuring Sanctuary Supported Living’s Shaftesbury Court, a residential care home that has been named a finalist in the ‘Healthy Homes’ category of the 2021 Inside Housing Development Awards.
In other news, you can also take a tour of relevant resources and events on later life housing and independent living with regard to homes and communities, health and social care, design and technology, dementia, planning matters and more. We highlight a range of items that we think will be of interest to you, including:

- The Good Home Dialogue by the Centre for Ageing Better.
- Collaboration between Fine & Able and Sophie Morgan showing that accessible design can also be beautiful.
