Making the Case

....for integrated, impartial information & advice about housing, care & related finance for older people

The benefits of independent information and advice for older people which brings together housing and care options and related financial advice is the focus of Making the Case, a report by the leading national organisations concerned with the provision of such services. The report sets out how integrated housing and care information and advice services enable local authorities to meet their duties under the Care Act and includes model clauses to assist with service commissioning.

Age Friendly street design

This guide offers simple yet effective ideas for making streets more age-friendly. Produced as a result of collaboration with the Manchester Age Friendly Design Group [2016]

Silverlinks

The Care & Repair England Silverlinks programme [2013-2018] helped to create networks of mutual support to enable older people to make informed decisions about their housing & related care. Older volunteers shared their personal housing experience, offering one to one help as well as providing information & advice. ‘Pass it on’ workshops spread knowledge about housing & care options through older people’s informal networks. Here is a brochure about the programme and here is the evaluation.

On the Cusp?

Will housing be part of health & care integration? 

Care & Repair England has launched a new ‘On the Cusp?’ brochure highlighting the critical role of housing in achieving some of the key aims of the Better Care Fund (2) and Care Bill. These include enabling older people to live independent, healthier lives, reducing hospital and care home admissions. It lists the practical steps which everyone can take to help to ensure housing is included in commissioning plans. Click here for brochure [2014]
