| Annotation | Throughout Europe, people are living longer, and many will have high care needs in their later years. Nonetheless, they will wish to live in a non-institutional setting, to retain as much independence as possible. This workshop was organised jointly with the HOPE Network (Housing for Older People in Europe), to hear about results of a study commissioned by HOPE, carried out by Peter Fletcher, and to be published by the Anchor Trust. Examples were given of some housing schemes in various Northern European countries, which were pursuing broadly similar objectives. First, ageism is being attacked, emphasising older people's citizenship rights. Second, choice, rather than independence, is now a key key term. (RH). |
