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.
