| Annotation | Extra care schemes provide care and support so that older people can live independently. They also aim to prevent residents feeling isolated by providing opportunities for social interaction. These findings summarise research which examined how social well-being developed in 15 new-build housing schemes supported by the Department of Health (DH) Extra Care Housing Funding Initiative. While the study by researchers at the Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU) suggests that extra care housing can provide an environment that supports social well-being, the findings indicate that the relationship between different aspects of such schemes is more complicated. The full report, 'The development of social well-being in new extra care housing schemes' is is also published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) and is available as a free download (at www.jrf.org.uk).
