A Housing led Vision for Proactive Care: Powered by Independent Living as a Service

With the 10 year NHS Plan in mind, this briefing by Tunstall sets out a housing-led vision for independent living as a service (ILAAS), anchored in the government’s regulatory reform of supported housing, and designed to meet the practical needs of commissioners, housing providers, and system leaders. It calls for a new model for delivering proactive, preventative, and person-centred support — through housing.

Recognising that the places where people live are the front line of health and care, and the benefit of building services around the home, it highlights how by improving outcomes and reducing system pressures can help people live well for longer. In particular, it considers a new ILAAS infrastructure, integrating connected technology, human support, and data-driven triage that can better deliver a coordinated offer where people live.
