| Annotation | This document provides a toolkit for undertaking work that will support a whole system approach to planning and developing accommodation and care. It is good practice rather than mandatory and has been prepared specifically to accompany 'Lifetime homes, lifetime neighbourhoods', the government's national housing strategy for an ageing society, to offer guidance for commissioners and providers (local authorities, registered social landlords (RSLs), and the private sector) to enable them to produce accommodation and care strategies for older people. The document includes material that would be helpful to preparation of a local study: guidance, briefing notes, tools for completing particular elements of the study, good practice examples, and draft material that can be incorporated in a local study. It includes techniques such as finding indicators of potential need, and mapping existing local provision. The document's basic assumption is that accommodation - whether in general housing or in some form of specialist accommodation - is crucial in providing a context to maintaining or restoring independence and ensuring quality of life.
