Retirement housing benefits everyone
Retirement Housing doesn’t just help older people live safely and socially in a home of their own as they get older, it helps in lots of other ways from encouraging the release of family-sized homes for growing families through to relieving pressure on health and social care services and supporting local shops and services nearby.
Below are ways in which specialist housing for older people supports the local community, the wider economy, our public services and people’s quality of life.
