| Annotation | Housing with care schemes are intended to: promote independence; reduce social isolation; provide an alternative to residential or institutional models of care; provide residents with a home for life; and improve the quality of life for residents. The authors present the findings of a longitudinal, comparative study of seven different housing with care schemes for later life. The study aimed to identify, describe and examine different models of housing with care in terms of funding, the type of care and support provided, the characteristics of the residents, engagement with the wider community, and issues around choice and control. The report considers: the 'different way of life' and what motivates residents to move; what makes schemes distinctive; the services and resources provided; meeting and balancing different kinds of need; and lessons for practitioners, commissioners and policy-makers.
