| Annotation | Two forms of provision for older people combine housing with care: residential care and sheltered housing. Housing with care is also variously called "close care", "extra care housing", or "very sheltered housing" Christine Oldman, of the Centre for Housing Policy at the University of York, has conducted an overview of the relatively new forms of enhanced sheltered housing, and examines claims that they could reduce reliance on or even replace residential care. Having outlined the policy context, she gives an overview of the main models of providing housing and care which considers their purpose, organisational structures, costs, entry criteria, physical design and service delivery. The study was carried out using 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.
