An online toolkit providing information for professionals working in adult social care on the area of technology enabled housing. It looks at the connection between technology and home care and support and the benefits of investing in the right technological infrastructure. Sections cover why it is important to adopt digital solutions; how digital technology can support policy and commissioning objectives; technical considerations to getting better connected digitally; and making the case for the benefits of technologically-enabled housing. Each section contains a series of questions that set out how services might get better connected digitally and provides links to useful resources. A series of case studies also highlight the use of technology enabled housing in the areas of prevention; rehabilitation and reablement; long term support and support for people with complex needs. Although focused on adult social services, the resource will also be of interest to a wider network across health, housing and social care. It is intended that the resource will be updated on a regular basis. (Edited publisher abstract)
