AnnotationThe Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) - through its housing association, the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust - is currently developing Britain's first continuing care retirement community, Hartrigg Oaks, next to its model village of New Earswick. By providing a high standard of both care and community facilities, the development is intended to remove many of the worries associated with growing older. This article looks at how the community will work, and asks whether the JRF's approach is likely to become a model for other providers.
