AnnotationThe warden service for sheltered housing has evolved independently of community care, but now needs to respond to its provision. This report describes wardens' existing responsibilities for housing management, tenant participation, and care co-ordination. Wardens possess key information about their tenants' lifestyles and housing needs, about which health and social services professionals may be unaware. Wardens are therefore best placed to co-ordinate and monitor care services. However, housing associations must set clear boundaries for wardens' working hours, to protect their privacy. Options for training programmes are suggested.
