| Annotation | A project part-funded by the European Union (EU) over the last two years has looked at more than 40 housing schemes across Europe, to identify those design features that contribute to helping older people remain independent in their own homes, enabling them to be a part of the community and promoting a high quality of life. This guide has been designed to be non-technical and jargon free, to help bridge the gap in understanding and communications between older people and those responsible for funding, designing and developing housing, and also as a learning resource for aspiring professionals. The guide is accompanied by a short film on DVD featuring best practice from UK and Italian award winning schemes. It has been packaged with a CD-ROM that has an electronic copy of the guide and more than 50 factsheets and toolkits on older peoples housing provided by the Department of Health's Care Services Improvement Partnership (CSIP). (KJ/RH). |
