Evidence has consistently shown that older people with high support needs, particularly those who have cognitive and sensory impairments, can be marginalised within housing with care schemes. This research looks at approaches to Housing with Care (HWC) in England and Wales, and how these communities are being made socially inclusive places to live, based on what older people with high support needs say they value and want. The report found that: communities are more likely to be inclusive when organisations have taken positive steps to promote a central ethos and culture of respect and tolerance of individuals; one of the ways of promoting respect and tolerance is by raising awareness of the experiences of people with conditions and impairments; organisations can take a number of steps to create an underlying environment that helps residents participate; and neighbourliness is key to supportive communities.

In 2004, the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, Hartlepool Borough Council, and other local partners started working together to develop Hartfields, a new retirement village in Hartlepool, with funding from the Department of Health's Extra Care Housing Fund and the Housing Corporation. Opened in 2008, Hartfields is a mixed tenure development with 242 units of one and two bedroom accommodation, intended to be an independent living setting but with the capacity to accommodate people with high levels of need for care and support, and primarily for people aged over 60 with a strong connection to Hartlepool. This evaluation study aimed to track major decisions and developments in the planning and implementation of Hartfields, to describe and analyse challenges and constraints encountered and strategies used to overcome these, and to explore ideas and expectations on housing with care for older people. Data was collected through documents and plans, semistructured interviews with key staff in the partner agencies, and focus groups and interviews with residents. The report covers the strategic context and housing needs and provision in Hartlepool, the key decisions and challenges and working in partnership, the early life of Hartfields as a new community, and key learning points and future challenges, concluding that Hartfields is a successful scheme.

Hartrigg Oaks is the first example in the UK of a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), developed by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust. On a 21-acre site in York, 152 bungalows are clustered around a central complex containing amenities, including a library, cafe and restaurant, and a residential care home known as ‘The Oaks’. As a CCRC, Hartrigg Oaks is designed to provide a housing option for older people in which they may live independently for many years. At any given point in time, most of the residents in Hartrigg Oaks will be living largely, or wholly, independent lives. The extensive care and support services provided at Hartrigg Oaks are primarily designed to allow its residents to remain in their bungalows. Should their care needs become more pronounced they can remain on the Hartrigg Oaks site within ‘The Oaks’ registered care home, which offers both interim and permanent care. Hartrigg Oaks is financed through an insurance based model, residents pay into a communal financial pool through an annual fee. The care and support services that Hartrigg Oaks provides are then financed through this pool. Through using this approach, residents can be offered the option of paying an annual fee that will not increase according to their use of care services.
