| Annotation | Older gay, lesbian and bisexual (LGB) people comprise approximately 5-7% of the population of older people in the UK, and to date very little has been done to investigate their needs and how service providers can meet those needs. This policy brief focuses on housing issues that may be faced by older LGB people in the UK. It cites recent studies illustrative of: "ageing in place" and the housing needs and aspirations of older LGB people. It looks at the extra care, sheltered accommodation and care home options; and whether residential communities specifically for older LGB people are the answer. Since there are few studies about the attitudes of providers, managers and wardens, the reader is directed to information such as provided by Stonewall Housing. (RH). |
