This year's Reith lectures focused on older people and questioned the inevitability of the ageing process. One lecture was to an audience of older people living in an 'extra care' scheme focused on activity and health - 'adding life to years'. In a specially commissioned series of articles, the author explains how extra care models and new 'retirement communities' are becoming an alternative to residential care and traditional sheltered housing. The first offers a typology for extra care. The second will be about modelling the care services, and the third on land and building development issues.
