HLINks: New HLIN viewpoint and blog, new resources, and news and events from the specialist housing sector.
This week we published a new Housing LIN Viewpoint on coaching and managerial success in housing with care organisations. We published a blog on the role of housing with care at the end of life. We also have new resources, events, and our roundup of news from the specialist housing sector.
Housing LIN Viewpoint
Coaching for Managerial Success – What’s in it for Housing with Care Organisations?
Housing LIN Viewpoint 97 offers Dr Katey Twyford’s personal perspective on the benefits of managerial coaching in the housing with care sector.
The viewpoint begins with a review of how coaching works at different levels of organisational management, before arguing for the benefits to organisations of a culture of learning through coaching and mentoring.
Housing LIN Blog
Housing and End of Life Care
For the Housing LIN’s latest guest blog Claire Henry MBE, Visiting Researcher University of Cambridge Palliative and End of Life Care research group and formerly Chief Executive, National Council of Palliative Care (NCPC), writes about how housing providers can give people more choice about where they die.
This blog examines what housing providers need to do in order to get people the care they need, and what improvements can be made to allow more people the option to die at home.
Housing LIN Survey
Have your say - Growing housing with care: an in-depth sector survey
The Housing LIN has joined forces with EAC (Elderly Accommodation Counsel) to measure the sector’s appetite for, and interest in, housing with care. We know that there is a significant shortfall of provision, recently estimated at 30,000 units per annum, against latent demand. How is the sector responding?
Take part in our survey and let us know your organisation’s intentions for growth in scheme development and/or in the delivery of care and support services over the next 5 years.
