CABE UK government’s advisor on architecture, urban design and public space have recently published a report on Homes for our old age.

The report features 10 case studies of housing schemes for older people, each of which offers inventive design and management solutions linking home and social care.

U.K. statistics reveal that by 2032 the number of people aged 65 and over is predicted to be 16.1 million, people aged 85 and over 3.1 million.
Being at home is what most people want in their old age. People want to retain a choice about where and how they live and to have a say over how they are cared for. They also want to keep their independence and stay connected to local communities and family networks.

The report will be of interest to those who commission, design and manage care in residential settings, including local authorities, registered social landlords and health trusts.
