| Annotation | Hartrigg Oaks in York is the UK's first continuing care retirement community (CCRC). Developed by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust and opened in 1998, it is intended to support an active and independent retirement, by offering high quality accommodation and communal facilities, alongside extensive care and support services. Services are provided using a financial model unique in the UK, pooling residents' fees to create a shared resource to fund care and support. Researchers at the Centre for Housing Policy, University of York have undertaken a 3-year study of residents' views of Hartrigg Oaks. These findings outline reasons for the appeal of the CCRC concept. The full report, "Living at Hartrigg Oaks: residents' views of the UK's first continuing care retirement community" by Karen Croucher, Nicholas Pleace and Mark Bevan, is published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF).
