This report sets out the findings of research looking at the retirement housing and residential care solutions of the future. Drawing on views and experiences of 55-65 year olds, which explored their needs and preferences for retirement housing, it sets out how providers of retirement housing and residential care will need to respond to these trends over the next 20-30 years, and what the future of retirement housing and residential care might look like. The report takes into account demographic change, changing preferences and expectations, and technological advances. Four key themes emerge from focus groups with older people: comfort, connection to wider community amenities and services, the need for community space, financial and physical security. These themes informed a workshop of policy experts, people from the housing sector, architects and designers to look at what retirement housing and residential care might look like in the future. The report makes three key recommendations for central and local government: to create a national taskforce on retirement; exempt retirement housing from stamp duty in order to reduce the barriers older people face when moving; and reform the planning system to incentivise a greater supply of retirement housing.

There are now over a million people in Britain aged 85 and over, and this number is rising every year. The majority of these live in some sort of communal establishment or institution and this study looks at the difference between the lifestyles of these people and those who still live at home.

The research combines quantitative, qualitative and policy analysis and incorporates data from the 1991 census, the family Resources Survey and a Department of the Environment national survey, along with specially conducted interviews with 42 very old people and 18 carers.
