| Annotation | Although previous Sussex Gerontology Network workshops have discussed sheltered housing residents' participation in social activities and housing management issues, residents continue to be viewed as passive recipients of care. However, residents have a collective interest in ensuring that their housing scheme provides a "home for life". The three presentations at this workshop are outlined. The first, Berryhill Village in Stoke-on-Trent, is a large scheme run by the ExtraCare Charitable Trust, and offers a wide range of care and support services, with substantial resident participation. The second described Eastleigh Housing Association's approach to Best Value (BV) in partnership with Fernhill Care Ltd. The third outlined resident participation in the move towards extra-care provision at Abyssinia Court, a multi-cultural scheme run by Hornsey Housing Trust. Discussion groups suggested how residents might actively influence or promote the provision of care and support. (RH). |
