| Annotation | Extra care housing has now been around for a long time. People are referred as tenants because they can no longer cope at home and many already have dementia or have developed it while living in extra care. While extra care does promote independence, can it really provide support for people with dementia? Here, the author presents the conclusions of a study that asked this question and looks at the practicalities behind the answer. Her study, 'Extra Care housing and people with dementia: what do we know about what works regarding the built and social environment, and the provision of care and support?', is a summary of findings from a scoping review of the literature 1998-2008 on behalf of the Housing and Dementia Research Consortium (HDRC). (KJ/RH). |
