This report, commissioned by the Mears Group, provides a review of the potential future demand for extra care housing for older people. It covers the policy and funding context in relation to specialist housing for older people; the current supply of older people’s housing and extra care housing in England, Scotland and Wales, identifying areas of relative under supply; and the implications of commissioner practice for extra care housing. The review found relatively limited UK Government policy in relation to supported and older people’s housing over the last 10 years. The retirement housing sector in the UK is modest in size, but has scope for significant growth due to predicted demographic change, with the fastest growing age group predicted to be people over 65 and over.

This campaign report looks at the extent of domestic abuse experienced by older people in England and Wales and the barriers that older people can face in reporting abuse. It includes case studies of victims and survivors to highlight the different types of abuse older people can experience. They include the cases of older people who have been abused by their carers, partners, and adult children. The report calls on the Government to ensure that the needs of older people are included in new legislation addressing domestic abuse. Specifically, it calls for: changes to the definition of domestic abuse; additional training for health care practitioners to improve recognition of abuse; the collection of data on domestic abuse for all ages; and for better links between the NHS and police to ensure older victims of abuse are properly supported and protected.

A case study of a review of services in five sheltered schemes and three linked semi-sheltered schemes for older people, carried out by Pembrokeshire Housing. Based on co-production principles, the review included full engagement with residents and used their unique expertise as a prerequisite for designing a service that would meet the needs of older people now and in the future. The case study looks at the stages of the co-production process and outlines key learning points. Learning points included being open and honest with residents, which helped develop trust and ensuring co-production is a genuine process. The co-production process also led to the identification of untapped resources among staff and residents. (Edited publisher abstract)

Examines the demand and supply for purpose-built housing for older people across the UK. It includes an analysis of the equity release potential of downsizing, as well as highlighting the planning landscape for the retirement housing sector. It is estimated that by 2039, one in 12 people will be aged 80 or over. The report reveals that just 3 per cent of new-build units in the pipeline or currently under construction are designated ‘elderly’ or ‘sheltered’ housing. It argues that supply of retirement housing needs to increase five-fold while downsizing to a home with one less bedroom will release around £52,000 in equity on average across England and Wales, with large regional variations. The report outlines the current demographic trends and the impact of an ageing population, the role of housing and the supply side of the housing market, and how the policy framework should address the lack of housing for older people.
