What do people want from their housing as they age? Perhaps unsurprisingly, most people want to stay within their home environment for as long as possible.
We respond to a report from the National Policy for the Built Environment Committee which asserts the importance of delivering a better built environment.
The number of intergenerational households, where children, parents and grandparents live together, is rising rapidly, according to the latest Census data.
Millions of people are living in homes that are unsafe, but can’t afford or don’t know how to maintain their home as they age. We want people to have greater access to help and advice to improve their homes.
A lack of suitable housing options for older people in the communities they want to live in is leaving many people trapped in homes that aren’t suitable for them.
The homes that millions of older people live in put them at serious risk of injuries, ill-health and even death. We want action so that everybody’s home can be made safe.
