| Annotation | The current supply of housing is unable to meet adequately the needs of an ageing population. This report presents conclusions and recommendations from the All Party Parliamentary Group on Housing and Care for Older People (APPG) inquiry, which highlights the significant role played by the older person's own home in maintaining independence for far longer. It cites key data, information sources and examples effective service provision that variously transform housing for an ageing society; build and plan for "age-friendly" communities; improve access to advice and information; consider equity release options; adapt existing accommodation; and considers connections with health and social care. The report looks at the obstacles to getting assistance with basic home improvements, and makes recommendations to overcome these difficulties that will help older people to live well for longer in their own homes.
