AnnotationSheltered housing is usually perceived as an amenity only for its older residents. Presentations at this workshop offered an alternative image of sheltered housing schemes as neighbourhood resource centres, places which can be visited for social events, personal services (e.g.hairdressing or chiropody). Contributors to the workshop presented case studies on innovative local schemes, including a community restaurant, a social activities programme, outreach services, and recuperative care. Recommendations on good practice are offered. (RH).
