| Annotation | This briefing of the literature seeks to connect the body of knowledge around the significance of car ownership in achieving well-being for older people to those making particular decisions that may affect older people's car ownership, in particular, those living in specialised accommodation. It examines from a social and psychological perspective the impact of loss of car ownership on the sense of well-being for older people. It considers the policy and practice responses to an ageing society, including the delivery of policies in relation to planning for transport health, housing and social care. It includes some examples of local practice. The briefing concludes that these wider policy matters should be given equal weight when determining the level of car parking to be provided in retirement developments. The views expressed are those of the author, and not necessarily those of the Housing Learning and Improvement Network. (RH). |
