| Annotation | By 2020, there will be 3 million more people aged 65+ than in 2008, and many will be increasingly frail. This discussion document summarises the related political, social, economic, technological and environmental trends, such as an increasingly "consumerist" older population that is "asset rich but income poor". It also notes the Caring Choices initiative (January 2008) and the forthcoming Green Paper on adult social care, and the implications for sheltered housing. Given the demands of the next generation of older people, it suggests that it is time to expand on the traditional model of housing and care provision and funding. The social care sector will have to offer a system that is fairer financially, meets needs more effectively, and offers people dignity and choice. (RH). |
