| Annotation | Two forms of provision for older people combine housing with care: residential care and sheltered housing. Christine Oldman, of the Centre for Housing Policy at the University of York, conducted an overview of the relatively new forms of enhanced sheltered housing, and examined claims that they could reduce reliance on or even replace residential care. This summary of the full report, "Blurring the boundaries: a fresh look at housing and care provision for older people" (Pavilion Publishing on behalf of the Foundation) considers the differences between residential care and the newer forms of enhanced sheltered accommodation. The study comprised a literature review, semi-structured telephone interviews with the main providers and other key players, and case study evaluations of innovative housing and care provision in York.
