AnnotationThis workshop develops themes from the previous workshop, "Preventative care and sheltered/retirement housing" held on 6 April 2006. Sheltered housing is not meant to provide support for all categories of older people, and there are some for whom sheltered housing is not appropriate. Commentaries on contributors' papers expand on the reasons, first that sheltered housing cannot provide the support needed (for example to those with high mental or physical care needs). More importantly, such allocations may actually threaten to negate the provision of preventative care to existing residents. (RH).
