| Annotation | Personalisation is now the basis for social care policy: the focus is on what people want from public services. This project aimed to explore the implications of personal (individual budgets and the broader theme of personalisation for specialist housing for older people. This report starts with an overview of the key literature (specifically the Individual Budgets Pilot Programme Evaluation, IBSEN) along with changing policy. It reviews issues identified at the outset of the Building Choices project, and looks at how the views of older people in specialist housing settings can influence what happens, for example in terms of challenging ageism, and promoting inclusivity and age equality.
