Case study reporting on an innovative service partnership in North Tyneside, between housing, health and adult social care, for the delivery of a preventative and enabling sheltered housing service. The case study outlines the process for redesigning the sheltered housing service, provides a description of the service delivery model, and details selected outcomes achieved during the pilot implementation. Areas of the sheltered housing service identified for redevelopment were: prevention, reablement and early intervention; services to support and promote the well-being of tenants (social, community and leisure activities); and workforce development. The service delivery model provides aimed to support for all aspects of a rich and satisfying life, from nurturing and/or maintaining social engagement and activities, to promoting good physical health, or supporting people to manage their chronic conditions and disabilities. Evidence suggests that this new model promotes prevention and brings services to older tenants. As well as being cost effective in monetary terms, tenants also indicate that it improves their quality of life. (Edited publisher abstract)
