NEW HOUSING LIN BRIEFING

Better planning for car ownership and well-being in old age (opens new window)

This new briefing of the literature by Nigel Appleton for the Housing LIN seeks to connect the body of knowledge around the significance of car ownership in achieving well-being for older people to those making particular decisions that may impact on car ownership among older people, in particular, those living in specialised accommodation. Drawing on a wide ranging review of the evidence base, it highlights the functional and psychosocial impact of car ownership in later life, especially in relation to sustaining independence and wellbeing for as long as possible, including those living in specialist retirement housing. It also considers the declining access to planning local public transport, in particular, outside urban areas, and challenges assumptions on the long term environmental impact against the benefits of older people being able to access health, social care and other public services.
