Very sheltered housing, extracare, assisted living, supported housing - all are names for a form of provision that has been touted as the future of care for older people in this country. So how does it measure up with the older people who live there? Counsel and Care spoke to 50 tenants of four very different schemes in a representative county. The report is designed as a reference work that can be easily dipped into, giving instant access to the research findings alongside all the relevant standards and regulations, issue-by-issue. Standards covered by the report include the National Service Framework for older people, the National Minimum Standards for Domiciliary Care, the Supporting People Quality Assessment Framework, the Housing Corporation Inspection framework and the Centre for Sheltered Housing Studies Code of Practice.
