Making homes, helping older people
Our older people's property strategy aims for great homes in the future.
Making homes for older people - we'll:
- Help with adapting and equipping homes
- Develop homes older people love to live in
- Refurbish or redevelop schemes and other properties built for older people to provide great-quality homes
- Improve properties to reduce residents bills and save energy.
We consulted widely on the strategy with residents and organisations we work with. It was approved by our Residents Council and by our Board in November 2011.
And that's not all. We're consulting on a strategy for our services in 2012:
Helping older people - we will:
- Introduce a menu of options and more choice of services for older residents
- Help residents 'downsize' if they want to
- Promote older people's involvement in the community
We're talking to our regional older people's forums about how we do this.
You can download a handy illustrated summary and the full strategy on the right of this page.
