This document provides guidance on the preparation of housing strategies that link housing to health, social care, and other local strategies. The guidance follows a whole systems approach which acknowledges that housing services are one of a number of other services that together make up the whole system that affects older citizens. All local authorities are required to have an older people’s housing strategy. This document provides a framework for producing a strategy using a sample template comprising the following sections: an executive summary; an introduction to the strategy, setting the local context; identifying the housing ingredients, needs and demand; how the current housing and service systems work; planning for the future; proposals and recommendations; and taking the strategy forward. This document is aimed at those responsible for planning and delivering the housing function, but may also have a wider audience in health, social care, regeneration and planning.

The purpose of SAP is to ensure that older people receive appropriate, effective and timely responses to their health and social care needs, and that professional resources are used effectively. In pursuit of these aims, SAP should ensure the following goals. Individuals are placed at the heart of assessment and care planning, and these processes are timely and in proportion to individuals' needs. Professionals are willing, able and confident to use their judgement. Care plans or statements of service delivery are routinely produced and service users receive a copy. Professionals contribute to assessments in the most effective way, and care co-ordinators are agreed in individual cases when necessary. Information is collected, stored and shared as effectively as possible and subject to consent. Professionals and agencies do not duplicate each other's assessments.
