This directory aims to identify and promote good practice for achieving social well-being. It is aimed at people from many different backgrounds, including older people, informal carers, commissioners, planners, managers and architects. Although the directory was initially based on research into extra care housing, much of the information it contains is likely to be relevant to other housing with care settings. This directory presents some ideas for good practice in promoting social well-being, and is grouped into five themes: general considerations; social interaction; design and planning; funding issues; and models of care. Where appropriate these ideas are supported by signposts to further information such as the Department of Health’s Housing Learning.
