Provides an overview of new forms of housing-based models of care for older people, sometimes referred to as 'very sheltered housing', and critically examines the claims that have been made about them, charting the main differences between the models . Also presents a methodology for evaluating them and presents the findings of two innovative schemes which aim in different ways to provide independent living for their occupants. Concludes that though such schemes may be no cheaper than traditional models, they may be more cost effective. Argues that there are policy obstacles to such approaches becoming more widespread and proposes changes in funding to expedite them.
