Findings from housing with care research:practice examples
A Better Life for Older People with High Support Needs
Between January 2011 and July 2012, Housing & Support Partnership completed two research studies on Housing with Care (HWC) for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) as part of their Better Life programme:
Boundaries of roles and responsibilities in HWC explored how providers, partner agencies and other stakeholders work together with older people and their relatives to deliver HWC. Since residents' quality of life (especially those with high or increasing support needs) can be greatly affected by the way in which these organisations work together in a complex commissioning and funding environment, clarity over boundaries, roles and responsibilities is crucial.
Affordability, choices and quality of life in housing with care investigated how affordability affects the decision-making of older people with high or increasing support needs – to move into HWC and then whether / when to access care and other services – and the consequences for their quality of life. This study focused primarily on those who fully or partially self-fund their housing and care.
