OUR MISSION STATEMENT

The Retirement Housing Group aims to increase housing choices for older people by advancing and promoting the case for retirement housing and its sustainability.

It seeks to do this by raising the profile of retirement housing, by working to influence planning, housing, legal and housing management policy, both nationally and locally, and by bringing retirement housing issues to the attention of decision makers and opinion formers.

RETIREMENT HOUSING

Retirement Housing covers a range of provision offering varying degrees of support from sheltered housing through assisted living to extra care.

It operates on the boundary between housing and care; where early intervention plays a key role in the prevention of escalating health and care needs and has been shown to reduce the call on social care and health services and offer improved quality of life to older people.
