AnnotationThe importance of housing for the health and well-being of older people is increasingly being recognised, however, until recently research has tended to concentrate on specialised forms of housing. This article reviews research on housing as it relates to older people: the meaning of home; the types of housing older people live in; specialised and mainstream housing; assessment of housing needs; and links between services. The author concludes that the focus of research is starting to move away from specialised to mainstream housing.
