| Annotation | Coordinated action is needed to give those approaching, or in retirement greater confidence about the management and costs of a "care-ready" home that meets their present and future needs. This report looks at how older people can be given more control over the management and delivery of services and access to a wider range of housing choices. It recognises that some of the factors that can impede older people "rightsizing" while still fit and healthy to somewhere to live that will exactly fit their needs - such as emotional ties to a home or community - are difficult to overcome. Having taken evidence from a range of experts and stakeholders, this All Party Parliamentary Group calls on national and local government policymakers, house builders, hosing associations and other stakeholders to take note of the concerns and issues that deter some people from moving to specialist housing.
