Although limited evidence exists to suggest the benefits of extra care sheltered housing compared to other supported environments, this report notes that currently there is no research examining the acceptability of extra care sheltered housing to people outside of the schemes (Royal Commission on Long Term Care 1999). The literature also indicates that there are particular domains likely to be important to older people in the consideration of supported environments. This paper aimed to address some of the presently unanswered questions by identifying the housing preferences of older people when given a choice between sheltered, extra care sheltered housing and residential care.
