A case study which describes housing led regeneration in an disadvantaged urban area of Wolverhampton, England. The regeneration consisted of 208 new homes, including a 64 bed extra care apartment block and older people’s day centre in the centre of the development. Drivers for development of extra care housing included: an increase in the number of older people living in the area; a preference for 24 hour care services for frail, or very, old people as an alternative to residential care; the wishes of local people to re-use a recently, closed residential home and the success of a day service elsewhere in the area.
