| Annotation | Older people (particularly those aged 75+) are the main users of health and social care services. The are also the age group most likely to occupy non-decent homes. Government health and social care policy is increasingly focused on enabling more older people to remain living in their own homes and on delivery of care "at or closer to home". This article considers how greater recognition of the negative impacts of poor-quality and inappropriate housing on older people's health and well-being, combined with targeting housing repair and adaptation assistance, could contribute to achieving a range of current health and social care objectives, including enabling older people to live independently in mainstream housing and better management of chronic health conditions.
